Assessment Journal – Second Entry
Today I met many new and extraordinary people when I visited Academy Point. The first person I met was an elderly woman who was sitting in the craft room when I arrived. I entered the room shyly, trying not to interrupt her craft time and sat in a chair in the corner of the room as I waited. When the arts and crafts director had to leave the room to get a bandage for another woman, the woman sitting at the table turned around and beckoned to me. I crossed the room and sat down, and began to talk to the woman. Her voice was weak and cracked, but she seemed eager and pleased to talk to me, and her kind questions melted my previous shyness. Also, during an exercise activity, I had the pleasure of meeting another unique woman. She was so energetic and talkative, despite the tubes that snaked their way from her handbag to her nose. She asked me endless questions and shared details of her life, as if she wanted to learn and share everything that the both of us had experienced in our lives. These are two people that have found a place in my memory because of their kind words and eager eyes.
