I'm okay caring and loving and with me being a caregiver for 5+ years now, if your not caring or loving you can't be a caregiver. Being a caregiver means putting your emotions on your selves. You are the caregiver, the therapist, a friend & family all in one. My grandma opt me to being a caregiver when she started her battle with cancer in 2015. I was a senior in school had all my credits so I just needed office hours means most of my day was free time. I'll be a school juggling my office work and also keeping up with my grandmothers schedule. Having access to an computer helped me organize my grandmas medicine schedule and daily routine. My teachers and principal was my biggest supporters throughout my senior year journey so of course they helped me stay on top of everything regarding my grandmother. When I graduate I was full time hands on with grandmother, I knew this was destine for me to take care my elders or anyone who can't fully do it on their own. I loved learning about diseases my grandmother was diagnosed with. Learning how to pronounce different medicine was the fun part. It shaped and form me for my first job as a Resident Aide. Being able to Help my elders is what I was put on earth for. It's nothing like making sure someone else grandmother or dad/ parents..etc is in good health or progressing every time they visit. Just seeing the smile on my resident/clients family faces warms my heart like no other. Personal achievement I'm proud of is being able to overcome my shyness of being around completely strangers and caring for them when I first started I always felt like a burden. Meeting new people from all over the world, different backgrounds, cultures...etc. I learned a lot being a caregiver. Wouldn't have it any other way.
