Reflection

Yes I would like work in home health aide because I like taking care of elders and I think it would be really fun. In many ways they have stories to tell me and lessons and if I get close to them they would even give me advises and knowing that if something goes wrong with she or he I can be there to help them and if they need someone I would be there. Also there have been cases when their own children don’t want to deal with them so in that case I would be happy to be there.
