When I was a sophomore in high school my grandmother who I was very close to became terminally ill. I helped care for her and spent nights with her. There were two events that mad me realize I was suddenly an adult,. Once I had to pick her up from the floor after she fell which was so horrible to see and painful to her to fix. Another was when she got pneumonia during a horrible snow storm. I couldn't get out and my parents couldn't get to town to take her to the hospital. So for 2-3 days I took care of her when she was so sick I was scared she might die. Looking back I'm glad I had those experiences. They are partially why I became an OT and helped develop who I am.

What shaped who you are as an adult?
