My names Martisha, but many call me T. I am very caring and loving, I love the company of others and being there for others. I am very patient and helpful when needed and am also good at assisting while not taking over. I have been attracted to care giving because my step-grandpa was diagnosed with a brain tumor when I was a teenager. I spent many days of my summer that year assisting his hospice caregiver and I really admired all she did for our family to make his last days with us easier, so much so that I've wanted to help in the same way she did. The part I would love the most about care giving is getting to make their lives just a little easier with daily tasks as well as being able to give them a companionship or friendship that they can rely on when times aren't the best. A personal achievement I am very proud of is when I finished my associates degree on my own, this was very challenging for me because I have been supporting myself through college and at times I didn't think I would ever achieve at least my associates and I did and am that much closer to becoming a Radiologist!
