I became a caregiver because I always found myself caring for the sick or injured and I really enjoyed it. Especially, when I would help care for my grandmother because seeing me would always brighten up her day. And that's what made me decide to become a caregiver. The thing I like most about being a caregiver is the patients and the families. I feel deep down in my heart that I'm making a positive difference in their lives. Because not all patients or families will have someone that can assist them in caring for themselves or their loved ones. A personal achievement I'm proud of is graduating college. I am the first person in my immediate family to go to college and graduate. Although, I only received my AA degree, I plan to pursue a BSN in Nursing and also BS in Psychology. I am very driven and ambitious, once I set my mind to something; I complete it. I'm dependable and reliable, if I say or agree to do something; I do it. I love helping and caring for people whether sick or injured or just needing a shoulder to cry to on. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We're always doing things together like beach parties, bbq's, family dinners, etc. My family is the most important thing to me and caring for them is as well.
