My main strength is my ability to observe changes in a patient. Whether it it is, a decrease in eating, agitation or illness, it is very likely that I will notice it. I realized when a family member of mine fell ill, my family and I were often unsure of whether or not she was being taken care of well and ,more often than not, she was not. I want to take that burden from other families. I love learning about the people I care for because it makes my job and their day a lot easier when their day is going a little rough. My proudest personal achievement is definitely when I got accepted into one of the toughest summer programs available to college freshman and sophomores at an ivy league university.
