I made a difference in resident's quality of life by helping them take prescription medications, assisting with personal care/hygiene, document incidents as required, perform light housekeeping duties and being a pleasant/supportive companion.

I provided adults and children/adolescents with the care, dignity, and respect they deserve. I did this by providing assistance to clients with developmental disabilities, implementing and accurately documenting program plans for participants. I came away from this chance to serve with a deeper respect for children/adults with developmental disabilities and their families. I developed a high level of patience and compassion for the struggles they go through and the accomplishments that they make. This helped shape my personal and professional goals for becoming a Recreation Therapist.
