Reflection:
Although I wouldn't really want to be a home health aide, I think that their presence is very important for all of us. Without home health aides, it would be harder for families to take care of their disabled loved ones. My great grandpa died two months ago yesterday, and I remember in his last days there was always a home health aide in the house. They made it easier to take car of my great grandpa, and probably even extended his lifespan long enough for people to be able to say their goodbyes. Knowing all of that, despite the low wage, I know that home health aides do us a great service.
