I was a self-proprietor for the last 20 years+. I have come to a cross-road in my life which I need to decide what to do with the next half of my life. I was fortunate to have had a successful business which took care of my family but I knew it was time to move-on. I remembered wanting to become a nurse when I was a little girl but as they say "life happens" and I took a different route in my career. So few years ago, I had a chance to help a lady whose husband became ill and needed constant care and I had the time to become her "helper" in the care giving needs. As everyone knows, caregiver is a 24/7 job. It was more difficult then I imagined but the rewards were so gratifying. The look on their face of gratitude and happiness made me realize that I had to follow my girlhood dreams of helping others. I took a medical assistance course and currently working part-time as a caregiver. I realized that after a hard days work, this is the only job that made me happy, to bring dignity to those who felt they have lost, the "moments" of happiness I see in their faces knowing that someone truly cares. At the end of the day, I am the selfish one who wants to continue this work for the gratification I feel knowing that I am needed.
