My personality is very outgoing, I love talking to people, I get along well with others, and I also enjoy playing instruments. I got attracted to being a caregiver during the time I spent helping take care of my great grandmother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Although it was extremely sad, it made me realize the impact in helping take care of those who can't for themselves. What I enjoyed about being a caregiver was the conversations held while helping my grandmother. She would go on an on about her past and it never got old, it was fun to learn more an more about someone. A personal achievement I'm proud of was being the only one that would come at anytime of the day. No matter the weather nor the time I was there and ready to help.
