Being a caregiver is something I enjoy because not only is it a learning experience for my future ambitions and goals, but it is also a way to communicate with others and help people in the small way I can. People tend to say that I'm a very patient and understanding person and I believe that those traits are some important traits that come with being a caregiver. Some of my future ambitions and goals is to become a travel nurse and a doctor of nursing and being a caregiver is like a stepping stone to better things I want in my life. The thing I'm most proud of is that I was able to know what I wanted to do in my life before I even got enrolled in university and that nothing has changed even after being a caregiver and experiencing first hand what it's like to fully be a nurse and in the health sciences field.
