Fresno Adult School

Taking care of other people had been for me both a childhood passion and an adult dream-For I hope to one day be a nurse. This is why I took classes in CNA believing that this will lead me ultimately to achieving my life dreams. I have since taken two semesters in psychiatric technician studies, and have taken some pre-RN classes. I have also completed my LVN Program at the Fresno Adult School and look forward to enrolling for my RN classes. For four years and more, I have dedicated myself to serving others and acquiring skills that continually enabled me to do so, either at work as a direct support professional, at school as a CNA, in various clinical environments as a patient advocate and care giver, or at vocational training as a licensed nurse. I have since worked as a psychiatric technician asistant working with the mentally sick and am now an administrator working with children with varying degrees of autistic disorders and mental challenges The patient's safety and comfort had always been my focus as I taught them skills for coping with their ADL'S and individual development.

I believe I am a great candidate because i show compassion and optimism. I perform all tasks with safety and respect. I care for every patient as if they were my own family member. I love being able to help another who is not able to because I know it is greatly appreciated and i have no problem with going out of my way with performing care. The reason I became a caregiver was when I was younger, I would provide care for my grandmother and great grandmother. Providing care for these important people in my life showed me there is more to life than just working for a paycheck. It showed me that over time people are not as strong as they were but the knowledge and wisdom they had gained is more rewarding to soak in . That is other reason why i love being a caregiver, I love to hear stories and real life experiences they endured at their young ages and how much life has changed over time. My personal achievement I'm proud of is graduating high school with 270 credits with a 2.8 and from there finding a career that'll help others .
