Assessment Journal – Fifth Entry
Picture this: an elderly woman sitting in a comfortable red chair with a Nintendo Wii remote in her hand. She is leaning forward, and her face is light by laughter and happiness. This is Edith. Edith is one of the most enthusiastic people I have ever met. As we were playing Wii bowling, she let out little yelps of encouragement and congratulations. She seemed so wrapped up in the excitement of the game and was eager to spread her enthusiasm. Also, when I first met Edith, I was immediately impressed by her selflessness. She came into the room after the later dinner, and when I offered her my seat, she quickly and persistently declined. She was determined to find her own seat and refused to put me out. Everyone could learn a lot from the way Edith chooses to live her life: to its fullest.
