I am 38 years old. I'm married and a mother of 5 children. Three of which are not biologically mine but whom I love as much as the ones I carried in my womb. I believe that I was born a caregiver. From an extremely young age, I took on the role of caring for the weaker kids at school. I felt like I had a responsibility to protect them from bullies or from being the cast outs. It never won me a popularity contest, but it gave me a sense of satisfaction that nothing else could even compare. I take pride knowing that when I work for someone, they are receiving first class service from me. The first class service isn't provided because of a paycheck. It's provided because it leaves me feeling so good about myself. I was a stay at home mother, which is the most difficult job there is, of five children. My husband and I have a yours, mine, and ours family. It was challenging to meet everyone's needs without adding my own need for a professional education. With the encouragement of my husband and our children, I attended school to become a Certified Medical Assistant. I graduated at the top of my class and, unknown to me until it was presented, was awarded the first "Exemplary Student Award". I was proud of myself for facing a challenge head on despite the many challenges I was already enduring being a mother and wife.
