Some of the personality traits that I've developed throughout my life that make me a great caregiver are compassion, patience, understanding, strong (able to lift), endurance, and being honest/having integrity. I have a passion for wanting to help others and a natural instinct to improve the lives of those less fortunate than me. I find it rewarding as I care for others. I enjoy getting to know the people I care for. Sometimes its hard for others to see those who are older and have chronic illnesses as actual people. But I've found that as I've cared for these special people that I've learned more about their personality and their family, showing that everyone is equally important in this world. I received Volunteer of the Year twice for Riverside Unified School District after always finding ways to participate in elementary and middle schools and helping in any way that I can.
