The reason I choose this field to work in is because of my passion I have for helping people. When I first became a nursing aide I fell in love with it. I fell in love with the smiles on patients and family members faces from just completing the most simplest thing for them. When someone is sick and is unable to complete their normal daily routine, it's not their fault. We all will probably go through if we are lucky to reach of age. But they need someone who is not going to make them feel bad for needing help. Someone who is doing this from the bottom of their heart. I enjoy meeting new people from all across the world, sitting down chatting with them and learning stuff about different cultures or just listening to their silly stories.
