My name is Sage Dixon and I am 20 years old. Growing up, my father was always ill. I am the oldest of three children so I had a lot of responsibility. I had to start driving at 15 so that I can take my dad to and from his doctors appointments. Taking care of him on a daily basis made me want to pursue a career in the medical field. Starting my senior year in high school, I took a certified nursing assistant course and had to be at school everyday from 5 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon then I still had to go work at my part-time job. I was always tired but I never complained because I knew I could do more. My dad's health was and still is so important to me. I enjoy helping him and I know he appreciates me for it. When I graduated from the Certified Nurse Assistant course, he was so proud of me and I decided to take on the nursing path long term. Working as a student and taking care of my dad has taught me a lot through life and I'll forever be grateful.
