1. I became a care giver because it was my calling. i knew it was my calling because i developed a passion early in life to care for people; both young, and old. For some reasons i hate to see people suffer. It was what made me more determined to be a care giver. There is a certain feeling of fulfillment i feel when i help people. it is indeed a very good feeling. 2. What i love the most about being a care giver is that i get to help people. Not only do I get to help people; I also get to be part of their lives which I consider a rare privilege. 3. There is a certain woman I took care of for a period of time. I was happy to know that my taking care of her help her come out of her depression. She was also unable to make use of some of her body parts like her arms to its full extent. By the time i was done working with this lady she was able to raise her arm. She could even move her shoulders. It brought tears to my eyes. It is one thing i consider an achievement. 4. I am very humble. Down to earth. I do not pretend simply to impress. I am very caring, kind and generous both with my money, and my time. I treat others the way i want to be treated because guess what? The roles might flip and i could just be the one at the other end. Then; what becomes of me if i fall into the hands of one who is mean and wicked? I strongly believe if you treat people right you would also be treated right. I live by this simple principle.
