In one of my college classes, we were required to do an act of kindness. My project included 1lunch for an elderly person. When I2the elderly person with the food I cooked, it never3to me that it would result in a new friendship and the discovery of a4.
The person I visited was Bill, who was unable to5much. A nurse came regularly to help him move to and from the wheelchair because he has no6. Bill said he was delighted to see me and it was a7for him to eat a meal with me because he usually eats8. He said the food was great, but he enjoyed having9even more than the food.
Bill had had a10life when working on the railroad and had many11stories to tell about his travels to many places. I was12a trip because of his stories. I had once13about traveling by train. However, I would14be going by train after meeting Bill.
Perhaps the biggest15of this project was that I suddenly realized that I am16of working with the elderly. Spending time with them was fun-they have so much life experience to17. On the one hand, I am a good18. On the other hand, older people want someone to know their inner world, so it is a perfect19. I decided to focus my studies on the20. Hopefully in the future, I will work with them to help even more people like Bill.
