1. I haven't been a professional caregiver, but I helped take care of my mother who was diagnosed with cancer for 10 years. 2. I love making a difference in people's lives. Working with my mother, I've seen how important it is for people to not only have help with home care and cooking, but also to just be there and have good conversation and laugh with. People with disabilities need good human interaction in order to keep from going into depression. One of the things I do every day when I wake up is looking forward to putting a smile on people's faces and making a difference. 3. When my mother passed away, I kept going and living life. I took a year off from school, but I ended up going back and I'm doing my best to live life to the fullest as she taught me in her honor. She was such a special person and I always try to give people a little taste of her when they're talking to me. I told her I wouldn't be able to live without her, so the fact that I'm still getting up and doing what I need to do every day is a big accomplishment to me. 4. I'm a very outgoing, happy, loving, and caring person. I love having a good time and laughing. I feel like my purpose in life is to make a difference in other's lives, which is why I'm choosing to be a caregiver. I get along with everybody and i enjoy helping others in any situation. I know I will be the perfect caregiver for any client.
