My older brother Shaun was diagnosed with H flu spinal meningitis when he was an infant, and has come a long way from what the doctors said he would be capable of. He is my world and I love him very dearly. I have been taking care of his needs for a long time now. I started giving laxatives when I was 8 years old. At the age of 16, I began working for a family friend with a special needs daughter. She was very hyperactive and needed around the clock supervision, while working for her I was in charge of all motherly duties, cooking, cleaning, bathing, activities, and transportation and medication before bedtime. I love working with the disabled because it's part of who I am due to growing up with my brother.
