A woman's photo of her work badges over the years is inspiring many to keep going. Jaines Andrades became a nurse at the same hospital as she used to clean ten years ago. "It's hard to be the person that cleans. If I had to go back and do it again, I would. It's so worth it," Andrades said.

Andrades was working at a fast food restaurant when Baystate Medical in Springfield, MA, gave her an interview. She just knew she wanted to help people. "Even if it was cleaning, as long as I was near patient care, I'd be able to watch things carefully. I thought it was a good idea," she said.

Andrades worked hard as a custodian(看护人) while attending nursing school. Last month, she finally became a nurse at the hospital—a nurse in the same place she used to clean. "10 years of work but it was worth it! I'm a provider at the same place I use to clean," Andrades wrote in a Facebook post. "I'm so thankful that my story can inspire people," Andrades said. "I'm so glad, if I can inspire anyone, that in itself made the journey worth it."
