Being a caregiver takes alot of patience and alot of respect. I started being a caregiver because I believe the elderly are so wise, they have so much to say. And of course because I love to take care of others, and like to see them smile because they know they will always have me (caregiver) to keep them company. I started off as a volunteer, and I remember hearing all different kinds of stories of the patient(s) past lifes, and what they did for careers, just amazed me and made me want to be more involved. After then, I knew being a caregiver was a great path, and from being in this field it made me want to stay in the medical field. So I take this as a stepping stone into my career of a soon to be medical assistant!
