1. I became a caregiver when I discovered my grandmother was being abused by her in house caregiver. I took over the job and cared for her for 5 years before she passed. I later cared for my Aunt who was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gherics disease). After the tragedy with my grandmother I vowed to never let mistreatment of others happen on my watch. I was so good at it that my family encouraged me to pursue a career in the healthcare field. I became a CNA, a medical assistant, and currently pursuing a nursing degree. 2. I like to help others who can't do for themselves anymore or needs just a little help. I like to see smiles. That lets me know that I'm doing a great job! 3. I became a CNA and then a medical assistant and pursuing my dream of being a Nurse. I am proud because I am following my dreams and able to help families in need.
