I became a caregiver because of an experience i had with my brother who lost his two hands in an accident and i automatically started giving care to him as he had no other means to go about his activities.After this experience,i saw myself sympathizing and identifying with people that has physical challenges in taking care of themselves. i felt the need for someone to reach out to them and show them care. I love that I get to know people, work with varieties of people from all walks of life,Learn a lot about them, share their great and sad moments with them and also identify with their weaknesses. i have worked with a lot of physically challenged patients and have achieved a great virtue which is patience in dealing with difficult tasks and also friendliness and trustworthiness in dealing with myself and others.
