I am currently a College student about to start the nursing program at Mercy College of Toledo in Fall 2018. I am finishing my last semester at Bowling Green State University and moving back home to Michigan for good In the beginning of May. I enjoy being a caregiver because I truly love to help people who cannot help themselves and do whatever I can to make their lives easier. At my current job I work with individuals of all ages who were born with disabilities. My favorite aspect of this job is making sure the person I am working with knows that they can count on me to get the job done physically and knows that I am also emotionally supporting them while doing it. I am personally proud of myself for my acceptance into the nursing program at Mercy College and cannot wait to further my education in health care so I can continue to help individuals.
