Blossom's First Experience
As a Home Health Aide: Part One

by Blossom Johnson

I always wanted to become a Home Health Aide. I went to school and I studied very hard to achieve my goal. Now that I'm a Home Health Aide I feel very good about myself especially when I'm wearing my uniform. I look just like a nurse. I am so happy to know I can take care of a sick or elderly person. The requirements of this field are not as easy as I thought. I promise I will be one of the best Home Health Aides I can ever be, with the help of God. For any patient I'm taking care of, I promise I will take the best care of that patient to the best of my ability. I have seen people out there who need me or someone just like me. I'm in this field to give care to the sick and shut-in who need someone to love them, to touch them, to make them feel loved. Someday I would like to volunteer my time to care for these people.
