Griswold’s Post

Transcript

[Music] All my life, I've been a caregiver. I took care of my blind grandmother. I took care of her, And at the same time I took care of all the smaller kids. I've been in the health field, I guess. 25 years and different aspects as far as caregiving. I am a daughter of a head nurse of intensive care unit who opened up her own ICU. She got very sick and became an amputee, so we became caregiver to her. She did dialysis at home. I learned caregiving at a very early age. I migrated from Africa in 2015. While I was in my country, I've been working with people of disadvantaged groups like women, older people, persons, people with disabilities. I actually drove my my grandpa to dialysis every Monday and Wednesday, so I committed my schedule to really taking care of him. I really saw how important it was for me to really take care of elderly, and when he passed away, it opened my eyes to just like helping other people. And I love caring for people because it's just, you know, everybody. This isn't a job that everybody can do, and it takes someone very special. I learned my real passion was caring for other people. I've always known I want to be in this field, whether it's with natural medicine or in the normal health care hospital system. I just I love to help people and care for them. I felt sick at a point where I needed someone to care for me, and because of that, I'm able to extend that love and that grace to others.

They you know, when I walk in, from beginning to end positivity. If you are thinking about doing nursing school when you have so much stuff behind you. Let me tell you, this world needs good people to be advocates and to be in this nursing field. It's going to be hard, but you can do it. Don't give up. I would say never give up on your dreams, no matter how far fetched they may feel believing yourself. Keep going because what you believe in will come to pass and never let go of what you dream. No matter how early you dreamed it. [Music]
