I became a Caregiver because I grew up with a little sister with Cerebral Palsy who just lit up my day. She could not talk but the smile she would give you melted my heart every time. She taught me to appreciate the small things in life and accept each person for who they are in and out. I love meeting new people and learning about what makes them who they are. I love the being that person that touches a special place in someone's heart. Being a Caregiver comes so effortlessly because that was what I was always supposed to be, it is like second nature to me. I had a son when I was young, my biggest achievement was him and being the best mommy I could be, he was just six months old when my sister passed away so I had to teach him how to accept each person for who they are. It is amazing to watch him grow up and see me in him when it comes to the care he gives to people with out giving it a second thought, it Is more special to see because I am the one who brought him up to be such a caring person. I attended college and pushed threw having a new born and finally got a degree May 2014. Although it is only in General Studies, it shows the commitment I have to something and finishing it. I am proud that I earned my degree and more proud that I am still attending school to better my self and my family.
