A few personality traits I can give myself would that I am patient, understanding, and diligent. What attracted me to be a care giver is caring for my family members who are handicapped, coming home from post surgery's or just having a pure moment of happiness with that person. I have always wanted to take care of people even from a young age. This is my purpose in life and I want to help anyone who is in need of it. I enjoy the smiles from others and the peace they feel when being taken care of. That is gift within itself and I wouldn't want it any other way. A personal achievement I am proud of is getting through school despite the pandemic! It has been tough but I am here blessed to see another day and attend school.
