I believe in giving forward to everyone. This is why I enjoy taking care of the elderly. I feel that many people are not compassionate or patient with the elderly and the sick. We are all going to be there one day and I can only hope that there is someone caring and compassionate to help me. It is a rewarding career because just making someones day has a ripple effect in the world. When my grandmother began to get Alzheimer my family wasn't able to watch her because they had to worked. I worked but was close to home. Therefore facilitating things for me. I would come home and check on her throughout the day and give her lunch. That was a great experience for me. My current job was at an eye institute, therefore we had many elderly patients. This further added to my experience and compassion for the elderly or sick.
