I became a caregiver because it honestly is the way that I was raised. I have been a younger and an older sister my entire life! Taking care of people and helping to better a persons daily life is a big part of mine and something i enjoy very much! Being able to help to improve someone's attitude, demeanour, mood, outlook, health status, situations and just overall to help to positively impact ones day is what I live for! Quite a few years ago I was in a horribly fatal car accident. I bought a brand new car a few weeks before and one night, my younger sister, a friend and I all got into the car and headed to the store! A drunk driver ran us off of the road and into the woods. My sister was killed instantly, our friend was thrown from the car and went into a few weeks long coma with some brain trauma and I, went into a coma for a couple of months, while on life support for majority of the coma, often having to resuscitate me. The doctors prognosis wasn't a good one with the severity of my injuries. I had to fight with all my heart and all that I am! Now, I've made it back! Now I am able to live again! With all of my pride, i am someone who can truly say that I fought hard enough that it brought me back to life! The right side of my brain is dead, along with all nerve endings in the front half of my brain. I lost a good portion of my memory and still have problems with my short term memory often I also suffer from on set brain seizures which are nothing short of paralyzing w
