I became a CNA because I like helping others.My grandmother inspired me to take the class to become a CNA. I told her I wanted to be a Nurse she told me about the CNA class and that it would be helpful when I start clinicals in college. When I finished the class, I had to take the state board test consequently, I was scared but passed. Secondly, I wanted a better job, so I could make more money and depend on myself. After I passed the CNA test, I went to the nursing facility and applied there. The nursing facility called me and asked when I could start; I told them that I could start the next day. I was happy that I had found a better job. Lastly, I like helping others. My family has taught me that when one helps another, the one who is doing the helping is going to be blessed. When I see someone who is in pain, needs a friend to talk to, or needs help, therefore, I am there.
