During the time when my grandmother took sick. I use to go and see her every day and I took notice of all these people that need care and attention that was not getting it. As time went along and my grandmother passed I still found myself going to the nursing homes helping out any way I can. That's when I knew that this was the career I wanted. My heart hurts seeing and hearing all the people that need help. I love my career, I love to see the smiles on the faces of those that I help. I'm compassionate and sincere to all that I help. I wish I could split myself up into a million pieces and help all that is not getting it. I proud of what I do and I hope that I can share it with you.
