Accomplishments
To me, life is quite ironic; It has a way of introducing you to the things you want, but keeps it just out of your reach. My biggest accomplishment in life is when I received my CNA Certificate. During my study and clinicals, the father of my kids had passed away. I almost gave up on my school to grief with my kids and prepare death arrangements. I missed a couple classes and clinicals but I manage to pick myself up and do all three things at once. (School, Grief, and Prepare). I Did it!
