Guiding my little siblings through their journeys is one of the reasons I became a RBT. Family is crucial in strengthening the lives of the youth.
Therefore, in my spare time, you can find me coloring with my little sister, learning how to braid her Barbie's hair, or trying to help my nephew's condition for sports they are currently interested in. It's a good feeling knowing my job is done, and I can sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee with a good book or TV show to catch up on.
