My internship at The Athens coucil on Aging

I really like having this oppurtunity to work with older people, and learn about different kinds of disabilities and people. My supervisor, Mrs. Annie Lumpkin is a very kind hearted laid back woman. She is very dedicated to her job and very dependable.
If i could have a quality that Mrs. Lumpkin has, i would want to be as dependable and friendly as her. Everyone there loves her and she treats everyone with respect like she would want to be treated. When i went there we all played a game where everyone sat in a circle and followed a leader who did different things with there hands and feet, then someone had to guess who the leader was. It was a perfect activity that was fun for everyone there.
I really like one of the gentlemen that i work with his name is Carl, he has alzheimer's but he is so sweet and I love talking to him. Another gentleman named Chris can't speak so he uses his on kind of sign language. I really believe this experience is going to help me in the long run. I feel like this will change my outlook on life.
