I decided to do nursing as my career because I've experienced many years of helping my mother with my disabled brother. Not only have I provided him with the best of care, but there was a bond that was created between us that no one would ever be able to share with my brother, Myles. At a young age, I learned that not everyone can ride a bike or write their name, and it really made me appreciate what I have learned to do. I also had the desire to help him do things he couldn't do, like getting dressed or cooking him Mac & Cheese. He's older than I, but he depends on me, likewise the elderly. I have experienced the beautiful feelings of being appreciated for the little things I do. As I hold a big heart to help the people that can't help themselves and to also provide the absolute best care I can, I feel that this is my career and I knew it a long long time ago. With that being said, the more experience I have, the more wisdom I accumulate. It doesn't take much to put a smile on someones face, which would put a smile on yours.
