Makiya recently heard about Goodwill’s Accelerate Program and was very interested. She attended an informational session with a clear vision in mind: to pursue her Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) credential. Today, she stands as an example of what determination and passion can achieve.
Reflecting on her journey, Makiya shares, “I thought because I was young, I had a lot of time, but after getting my CNA certification, I knew I wanted to see and do more. This is only the beginning.” Her words echo the transformative power of seizing opportunities and embracing personal growth. Makiya currently works at a local nursing home, where her dedication to caring for others shines brightly. Makiya’s journey with the Goodwill Accelerate team has been nothing short of inspiring. “The Goodwill Accelerate team has taught me that I can do anything I put my mind to,” she affirms. “I love helping others. I love to put a smile on my residents’ faces.”
Makiya’s commitment to excellence and her genuine compassion are evident in every aspect of her work.
The Goodwill Accelerate team takes great pride in Makiya’s accomplishments and looks forward to witnessing her continued growth and success in the future. Congratulations, Makiya, on your remarkable journey and the difference you make in the lives of others. You are truly an inspiration to us all.
