I became a caregiver to help people get better when he/she is in need of assistance. I am currently attending nursing school so I thought becoming a caregiver would be a great opportunity to start my career in nursing a little sooner. What I like most about nursing is the response I get when I help someone. People are so appreciative of the care I provide and it truly makes me happy to know I can make a difference in one's life. A personal achievement I am proud of is that I became a CNA before the age of 18 and will be a nurse before I am 21. I am thankful I got to start my nursing career so early in life. Something about myself that I would like to share is that I have 12 snakes. Yes, 12! I not only like to help people but also animals. I like to be very giving and live by the quote, "Treat others how you would like to be trewated."
