I look at it like taking care of my grandparents. I knew they needed help with certain things and I was there to help them. I love helping people out because one day, I might need that same help. What attracted me being a caregiver is when I first helped someone, I seen the smile on their face. What I love the most about being a caregiver is being there for people. A helping hand goes a long way in life. My personal achievement is reaching my goal when I graduated from school and seeing my grandma there when she couldn't get out the bed really. I helped her through a lot and that really put a smile on my face.
