1. I became a caregiver to due to the brain stroke my father had when I was 8. Growing up I was always around nursing homes and hospitals. I had to learn to adapte with the healthcare industry and ever since I was a little girl I wanted to become a Pediatrician. 2. I love being a caregiver because it gives you the chance to help someone's live or even make a change in their live. It makes me feel good to know I can help someone. I've volunteered all my life growing up, from homeless shelters to hospitals. 3. I am proud to say that I am only 19 and am still in college working as a CNA, continuing my education as an registered nurse. 4. Something about myself, I am a very laid back type of person. I must say I am quiet at first but once you get to know me that changes. Im very patient and understanding. I love to help others, so in my free time I tend to volunteer around places. I love listening to music it tends to keep me at peace with my mind and keep me going throughout my day.
