1) The CNA course was offered at my high school and I was interested in going to Nursing School so I thought it would give me a head start. 2) I love getting to see the joy on patients/residents faces when they accomplish something. I enjoy getting to meet so many different people and get to know their families as well. 3) I worked extremely hard my junior and senior years of high school to be able to work as a CNA full time and be in school, as well as be in theatre. All of that together was a personal achievement for me because I was handling so many different things on my own. 4) I have 4 sisters that I took care of all growing up and I think that is what instilled in me the joy and want to care for others.
