This was a personal role that I took early on in my life. My grandmother has diabetes, which caused her feet and legs to function poorly, and she needed to be taken care of often. In this personal role, I maintained a clean and organized environment to promote health and hygiene. One of the most important tasks I was tasked with was to assist with daily living activities and provide mental and physical comfort. Along with that, I was in charge of picking up medication and knowing when it should be given.

During this time, I discovered my passion for healthcare and began exploring opportunities. I got into a Big Brothers Big Sisters program that provides a mentor to inform and guide you through the volunteering experience. Due to COVID, we were unable to meet in person at Chocs Hospital; however, it was still a great learning opportunity online. I learned to take vitals, spend time with children, and the basics to provide comfort to patients at chocs Children's Hospital.
