I always liked to help people since I was a child. My grandmother brought me a child doctor kit and my family were all my patients even while they were asleep. I like to meet people and learn new things. I took a customer service class while in college. I am a team player. I took a nurse aide course in 1999 and my license is still current. I have taken a medical assisting course and received my Associate's Degree in 2009. My grandmother and mother had encouraged me to go to school and get certified like my mother. They were my supporters. My grandmother and mother let me practice all I learned with and my grandmother most times on her. My grandmother became ill and that was more of a push for me because I didnt understand the things my grandmother was going through. So I pushed harder for school and she fought harder to push me through. She died a little after I had passed my state exam. I just wanted to quit but I remembered my grandmother and the hardwork we did together. I pushed on after my grandmother died. My mother died and I decided to go to LPN school. My personal achievement I never thought of that. But if I had to think of 1, I would say it would the drive withing myself to not quit at my dreams and goals.

My expertise in caring for the aged is my patience,love,empathy,trustworthliness and flexibility makes me stand out in this field of care. My grandmother inspires me to be a great caregiver. When she was sick, i accompany her to the hospital,wash her clothes,cook for her and made sure im there when she needed me. The excitement and joy she had on her face when im with her makes me proud that at least i made her happy before she died. When caring for the aged i have the empathy because i feel like caring for my grandmother and to make someone feel happy means me feel good that my grandmother will be happy wherever she is. Being a caregiver is full of ups and downs but it has a great influence on my relationship with others. When a loved one whether they are of a sound mind or not deserve to be treated with love,needs attention and this is a priceless gift
