I grew up in a home where my mother cared for the special needs, as I got older I realized that this is what I want to do. These really are the most special people in the world, I have spent many summers volunteering at a special needs camps as well. It's what I love, helping those who can't always help themselves. It is beyond rewarding. I have also done many side jobs sitting with them & just giving them company!
