With all kind of interesting dreams like most of the girls have, I had a dream to be an artist. My interest changed instantly when I volunteered at a senior living center when I was 15 year old. My intuition in this career was very vivid on my very first day of volunteering. I loved listening to their stories, caring them and just to hear back how they appreciate whatever help they get from us. After couple of years, my thought on this career got more intense when I worked part time at the senior living with Alzeimer and Dimentia residents. Working with Alzeimer clients I understood my role as a caregiver is so much more than just caring them. We, as a caregiver, not only help them with their daily activities, but we become their support system in their each and every steps. More I try to understand these people, more intensely i fell in love with them. This also give me a feeling of doing good deeds through my work.
