Love of those of who can not speak

Within examining more into this quote from Aristotle, I do believe our own passions and happiness come from within ourselves. They are experiences and ideas as we once out together as a child or teen trying to figure out and learn who we are. For some the reason of happiness and passion can come from the mechanics of trains to body modifications. As for myself my ideas of happiness and passion has comes from Special Needs children and adults because I have grown up with a cousin who has special needs but was born with a heart of gold. Growing up with my cousin I just thought he was a normal kid like myself until one of my family members explained to me that he was born with Fetal alcohol syndrome and because his health issues he may not make it passed the age of twelve. Let me tell you even though my cousin went through so many surgeries nothing had stopped his superhuman strength in appearing in the Special Olympics. Growing up and getting to know my cousin has been a true blessing because he has inspired me to be a better person for those who need my help. Ever since then I have been able to get many certifications and help speak up for those who need a voice and a shoulder to lean on. I was working at a place called SYC in New Mexico and for the past several years that I have worked here it has taught me so much. SYC is a safe and secure place for adult with special needs to enjoy activities such as swimming, making arts and crafts, reaching their everyday goals, teaching them how to cook, and feel comfortable within their own skin. Even though some of my clients could not speak I found complete joy in them because they all came with their own sense of life and had very bright personalities. Learning to love and care for someone other than myself has taught me a lot about what my intended purpose is in life. I guess you can say that I have a maternal instinct that comes naturally to me and helping to watch those grow is an amazing feeling. Do not get me wrong it can be a little challenging just by the small yet simple things. Some activities have to be retaught day in a day out like for example basic hygiene or helping them with simple tasks around the house. I find that learning to care of someone can be challenging yet fulfilling because even though you may have a set schedule your client, family, or doctors can change things at any time. Expect the unexpected when being a part of this job. I feel like I got the natural part of taking of people because I had learned to take care of my grandfather when I was a teenager just to make sure he had the right diet because had diabetes. When you learn to be selfless and love those who ten to need it the world becomes a better place for the both of you. Special needs people don’t need some who hurts them but rather a person who they can trust and confide in. We as caretakers need to help them understand why we are there for them and how we can make the world a better place because they are put here in our lives to teach us lessons on how they feel what a devoted friend and caretaker should be. Our clients are the ones who have the greatest intuition on who is a good person and who is not just by their very own experiences. In the end my clients have taught me so much on how to be a better caretaker for them and I would not change it for the world.
