I like helping my neighbors and other friends when they need to get to their doctor appointments or if they're having car repairs. There is so much joy in the gratitude they express. A friend who is an R.N. has encouraged me to pursue caretaker as a job. A teenage boy, who seemed depressed, sat down next to me at a roller skating party one night. He needed to talk. As the evening wore on, he confessed to me that he was considering suicide. I wrote a story about how we got through the evening and it was published in Insight Magazine.
