When I was 13 years old I was my mothers Caregiver, she had Cancer and needed my help. There was a nurse that came once a week to see her. She taught me how to change her feeding bag Intraveinously. I was also taught how to give her insulin shots for her diabetes. That in itself was a huge responibility but I did it because she needed me and I wouldn't have it any other way. I decided then that I wanted to take care of people. Becoming a caregiver will allow me to help those in need to live comfortably and happy life. My personal achievement that I am proud of is returning to school to attain my nursing degree. I am a mother of 5 children and want to show my children that no matter what you want in life you can get and or do it. So go for it, also do the best you can because that is the best you can do.
