Where ever I go somewhere for the first time I am usually nervous. When I first walked into this nursing home I was very nervous. I was nervous for a few reasons. The first reason is that I didn’t want something to go wrong, and also I didn’t know anybody that I would be working with. As I started working I got more and more comfortable and I know when I go back that I wont be as nervous. When I was at the nursing home a few days ago I helped out with the coffee social. Before the social started I went to get some people in there rooms and help them down to the recreational room, where the social was held. Once everybody was there we started by serving him or her drinks. On this particular day, we had a little book that had questions in it and we had a very nice conversation with everybody, about various topics. Whether in was taking about the chores that they had when they were a kid, or if it was talking about how cars don’t look anything like they did back then. From visiting on this particular day, I learned a lot about the olden days and how different it is know.
