16 more hours.

Thursday at 2:30pm,  I will no longer be a CNA... whoa!

I've spent the last 4 years of my life taking care of the elderly.  I have loved many of my residents as if they were my own family. During that time I have been yelled at, bitten, hit, hugged, loved, I have laughed with them, cried with them, been frustrated with them, and held their hand as they passed away. I have learned so many life lessons from each and every one of them. They have taught me what love is, and have shown me what it really means to respect an elder. I am so grateful to the experience and wisdom I will take away from all of them.

So many exciting and crazy things will be and are happening right now; I just need to get it all out!
