He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in his late 60s. My Grandfather begun injuring himself and making simple mistakes. So my mother thought that it was best for him to move in with us. For about 7 Years strong my mother gave up her life to take care of My Grandfather. I watch my mother become literate to caregiving just off the strength of love. My mother was very good at what she did, She self taught herself majority everything. I've always been an observer, I would stand back and watch mother as she cared for my Grandfather. The bond and love my Grandfather and Mother had was amazing.
By seeing my mother struggle trying to manage her house, raising two teenage girls, and caring after her Father motivated me to step up & help my mom. I’ve eventually became literate to caregiving due to my mother. She taught me everything she knew in the results of caring for my grandfather. It wasn't easy for me in the beginning at all, I was only 17 taking on a huge responsibility. While learning hands on I found that I found a love for helping others. Meanwhile during the start of my senior year, I decided to actually make it official. My school offered a program to attend a trade School Known as New horizons. I was excited that I decided to take that next big step into making my literacy a career. While getting the proper training, I also educated my mom. By attending school made things a lot easier for us. Even though I was in school my mom still taught me a thing or two. She came up with some of the best ideas when it came to keeping my grandfather comfortable or even when it came to giving him care. We were the perfect duo when caring for my grandfather. After a long year of attending New horizons While still trying to enjoy my senior year of high school. I was successful and I managed to achieve my license to become an
