Hello, my name is Candace and I am a 21 year old student who is passionate about life and all it has to offer. I enjoy writing, poetry, art and nature. I am very empathetic and have a soft spot for animals and people who are unable to help themselves. I have firsthand expirience with this, as I have been helping to take care of my grandmother who is completely blind, for the past 3 years. I became a caregiver because I was overwhelmed with my grandmother's condition and wanted to help make life more comfortable for her. This line of work really humbles you and allows you to see just how delicate life really is. Through this line of work I am proud to say that by doing this, I have gained a lot of admiration for elderly/disabled peoples. Life has a way of throwing a lot of lemons at us and it takes a lot of spunk and courage to fight back with a smile.
