I started out as a dietary aid at a living assistant community, I would help out the C.N.A's when they were shorthanded; helping patient to the restroom and to dinner. The girls would tell me that, I should go to school to be a nurse’s aide because; I had the attitude, patience and the heart to work with people. So I started to work with patients who had Alzheimer’s and dementia and, I loved the atmosphere, generally helping people and listening to their stories. My childhood dream was to become a nurse and, that's what I wanted to do work with people. Some of my personal achievement are, my two son's bringing them into this world will be the greatest thing I will ever do in my life also; marring my husband it's always a grand achievement to find that special someone and, share your life with them. Growing up I had three goals and they were to be a, Teacher, Nurse and Veterinarian. I had the chance to go to school and receive my Certification as an Assistant Nurse and I had the chance to, go back to school to get my associate degree in teaching; I also have decided to go back and obtain my degree as a Registered Nurse. I think in life if you have the privilege and determination to follow every dream or goal you have then, go for it.
