As an engineer student , the last thing I thought I would ever do was take care of people, or do anything in healthcare field, until I was told by a friend that with my character I will be the best fit for helping and taking care of people. For one year, she trying convincing me to come to her work place and work with her to see if I will like it. And so I did, and I must say it is by far the best career change I have ever made in my life. Helping the elderly with their daily choices and seeing the smile on their face brings me the best satisfaction I never imagined it would. I work from the heart, for every elderly person am helping can/could be my mother or grandmother. I love this career path so much to which , I have consider getting a degree in medicine along with my engineering studies to come work in health field.
