Unfortunately, empathy can't be taught in a CNA program. But I felt it was my ability to put myself in another's persons shoes and understand how that person is feeling. Empathy has let me provide better care because I feel I am helping someone out from their point of view, not just from my on. I feel in order to be a great care giver you have to understand the situation and how to address it in a great way to make sure everyone is taking care of. I started being a caregiver once my great gran-mother had gotten sick some years ago and I really enjoyed so I decided to go to school for it and every since then I have created many bonds with many older wise people and I wouldn't trade it in for anything else, these people have shaped me more as a person. The thing that I enjoy most is seeing the people I work with smile, when I walk in to do my job and see them smiling it makes me smile knowing that I'm part of the reason for brightening up their day just as they brighten up mines!! One of my personal achievements that I am proud of would be going to school and continuing to follow my dreams!! school is important to me and I'm going to finish strong.
