My name is Nour. I am 17 and I am in the Michigan works youth program and entering in the elder care, learn and help the elders. I am looking forward into learning about the elder's lives. It's a great experience so far and I hope I'll get a lot out of this program that would help me in my future. It's really fun being at glacier hills helping the elders. I am excited about walking the elders in the garden and doing their nails. The property at glacier hills is nice and neat, and the garden there is beautiful. The saddest part is watching the elders losing their memory and that's why i want to be their to leave with a smile on their face.
There's a resident at Glacier hills that I really admire because she's so down to earth & she still talks like she's still living in the past even tough she knows that she's at this point in her life. she has so many stories and memories to tell other people about and I'd want to hear her stories and get to know her better. She's 96 years old and she still wants to do more activities that make her feel alive and that she's still living. What I like about her is that she likes to listen to what people got to say like tell her a story and she loves when people sit with her and listen to her stories.
