About Laura

I am in nursing school because I want to help people. I enjoy being around people and think that I would be a good caregiver because I am easygoing and am told that I am quick to learn. I also have experience with kids and people with special needs. I would like to gain more experience around elderly people, as I believe they have a lot to teach me, regardless of their abilities. It makes me sad that we live in such a culture that idolizes youth. I hope to enjoy humorous moments, time outside, and possibly even games of Scrabble.
