1. My grandmother lived with my family for the last 10 years of her life, and she had bad dementia so I really got the feel for taking care of someone who really needs it. That's when I decided I wanted to do that full time and peruse a job doing the same thing. 2. I like having a job that impacts people's lives directly.
