When I walked into the recreational room at the nursing home, everyone was sitting and ready to have a discussion. During the coffee social, on Saturday, we talked about lots of different things, like their favorite teachers, their first best friends and lots of things that they remembered. When we started talking about things when they were our age or even younger, something surprised me. I was surprised that they remembered their first best friend, and their favorite teacher when they were a kid. Also, when I was talking to one of the men, Will he was telling me how he use to be afraid of the dark, and he had to walk home from school in the dark, and he was always scared. When I was talking to everyone on Saturday, I felt more comfortable than I had the other two times that I have visited. I was still nervous when I got there, but as the conversations started it seamed to just float away. I think that this happened, because I am getting more and more comfortable with all of the people there. Each week, there are usually some of the same people there, so I think I can really get to know some people. Each visit that I take is becoming more and more comfortable.
