To help others I get a lot of satisfaction out of my day knowing that I'm helping someone and it even makes bad days seem good. I remember 2 days ago there was an elderly lady at McDonalds and she was having difficulty walking, I just got out of my medical assistant class for the day. She tries to walk over to get something to drink from the soda stand and as she was struggling to get there I immediately got out of my seat (tired and all) and asked her to sit and rest while I get the drink for her. It makes me feel good to be able to do that. I'm proper, educated, always great in appearence, I workout to stay fit and so if any heavy lifting is required I can accomplish it, I'm very outgoing and I'm always talking to people to know more about people in general, people will never feel bored around me and that's why I decided to go to school for medical assistant and eventually a RN.
