I am a college student whom is in school for nursing. I plan to become a pediatric nurse practitioner. I currently live my aunt, uncle and little cousin. I hep my aunt out with both my cousin and uncle. My uncle had a massive stroke which caused him to be paralyzed on his left side. I assist him with activities of daily living, give him his medication, cook and etc. This is what brought it to my attention that I should consider being a caregiver/nursing assistant. I currently work at a nursing home and I love it, I am so happy that I choose to do so because I get an amazing feeling from doing so that I can't explain. My heart is so big. I really try to think of ways I can make an impact on the world. Even if it's not the world, how can I change lives. Our prime purpose in life is to help others.
