In high school I took the program for CNA classes, to help others as I did for my grandmother before I lost her at the age of 15. I'm quiet, and I keep to myself, but I'm a caring person. I get my work done, and if I can I will work over my time if needed. I love most about being a CNA is that I can help other's when they can't help themselves, and knowing I can make a difference in their life. I have been working as a CNA for many years and have four children and as much as I love doing this I had made the decision to go back to school in the health field, so I can further my self in helping others. I want to be able to understand how they feel, what they love and what they dislike. Most of my job is hands on and that's what I love most, however there is other things that people need and that is for someone to talk to, and I don't think us CNA's get enough time to know our patients. That's why I'm going back to school.
