Accomplishments

I have been working with Dementia and Alzheimer's patients for the past year in an assisted living facility. I know that I have a calling on my life because I have been very unqualified for my job but i have excelled abundantly in it. I am very happy to say that all o fmy patients love me and I love them as well. I have been working the night shift alone with about 20 patients 5 to 6 nights a week. I just recently switched to days and although I do love my job, I feel as if there may be more out there for me. I am CPR certified and am also a Proxy in Medication administration. I want to continue to grow in the medical field and I am also going to college for Biblical Studies. I'm not for sure what God has planned for me but I know that I am very good with mental health patients as I use to be one myself. Thankfully, by the Grace of God and God alone, I have been delivered from PTSD, Depression, Bi-Polar Disorder and you know the list surely went on. I am not on any medications and I am thriving happily now. Thank Jesus.
