A number of years ago, when I was 19, I suffered a debilitating motorcycle accident. And while I recovered fully, over 12 month's time, I learned what it meant to have limited mobility, to have to rely on others for your most basic needs, and that experience has given me a deeper appreciation for those in need of one-on-one care. For some people, a caregiver will be the person they interact with most during the last years of their life, thus making that role very important. I am most proud of having been a mother, and not just a mother, but a single mother. My experiences and the wisdom I have gained from being a parent have been extremely beneficial to me, in my career as a medical assistant. I have been an artist, photographer and birdwatcher for the entire duration of my adult life.
