I became a caregiver for a few reasons. First reason was to peruse my dream of becoming a nurse and secondly because helping others truly is my passion and working with others brings me joy. What I like about being a caregiver is when I can make someone else’s day just a little bit brighter and even easier. This is an accomplishment that I can achieve again and again. Along with this my biggest achievement was being accepting into Metropolitan State University’s Nursing program. This was a goal that seemed very hard to reach but with determination and hard work I was able to prove to myself that I can do anything that I set my mind to. I currently live in Minnetonka MN, with my beloved husband and our joyful kitten Leo. I am on track to graduate with my Nursing degree in 2016.
