for one and a half years. I worked with them at an aftercare program, as well as during
summer camp. I would often watch over the children, making sure that they are doing
well and that they do not have any kind of issue bothering them. Aside from playing with
them and helping them out with their studies, I also cleaned their wounds occasionally
as well as comforted them when the time was needed.

grandfather had Alzheimer’s. caring for him was quite difficult at times. despite that, i
knew him well as a person. i would know that he doesn't remember half the things I tell

let him take the lead.
