In summary I am a very motivated 17 year old who loves helping others and making my community better by being involved. I grew up in a multigenerational family-four generations! I especially enjoy being with the elderly, working with young children and caring for animals. I see the need for protecting and advocating for those who may not be able to. I was adopted out of foster care along with my two nephews, who suffer from mental illness and addiction. I believe there needs to be change in how we support our elderly, mentally ill, the developmentally
challenged, our young children and animals. Growing up I have seen the challenges for them getting the assistance they need. I want to be part of that change by working in the foster care field as a social worker and also caring for the animals as they, too are an important part of our lives.
I helped to provide daily assistance with hygiene, dressing, incontinence care, transferring(she needed a hover lift) feeding and supervision
