I am a certified Home Health Aid, I graduated with the highest score in the class in October and am still looking for a job. I became a home health aid because I wanted to help people and also it will help me toward becoming a Dietitian, because that is what I am going for and I need experience with people. I like it because I can help people. I am proud of the fact that I am going to become a Dietitian. I have worked with people in the past, I used to volunteer at a nursing home when I was younger. I have also helped both my parents that are disabled around the house. Now I only help my Mom who is disabled around the house because my Dad passed away 2yrs ago I take her to her doctors visits and take her to the store.
