My fondest memory is of the first time a client asked me for help. I had only been working for a month. He isnt really one who talks much and rarely asks for help. I remember he was having a difficult time putting on his clothes. He looked at me and waved me closer saying Help. Help. After helping he looked at me and said Yay! I felt so happy to know that one of my clients felt that he could trust me and come to me for assistance. -Adrian QIDP
