HOW IT MADE ME FEEL
When we first got there I was really nervous but by the end and I was comfortable and happy for them and me.
WHAT I ENJOYED THE MOST
I loved making them smile and hearing about their amazing stories they talked about from their past.
WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM IT
I learned that you shouldn't be scared of someone who you might not know or if they can't speak or have anything like that.
STORY
On Tuesday my class and I went to Dixon house for a visit. We left at 12: 30 pm on a bus. The bus looked really cool because it was a small bus just to fit my class in. On the bus, everyone was really loud talking but that's what every class has to do on a bus be loud. Anyway, the bus stopped and one by one everyone got off the bus.
Our teacher told everyone to stay behind her and follow her. We could see Dixon house. There were a lot of old people there but what else would I expect from a retirement home for old people. There was a lady waiting outside for us. She told us what's happening and also said we will have food here. Well, that's all my ears listened to. She opened the door and we walked inside excitedly holding our books we were going to read.
It smelled pretty bad down the hallway. I don't know why but the smell disappeared after a minute or two. We introduced ourselves and went to random complete strangers we have never even seen before and we read books to them. It was pretty scary at first but after I got used to it and I kept reading and talking to new people it was really cool.
After about an hour of that everyone sat down, had some sweets and juice, and just chilled but then it was time to go back to school everyone said bye and we left but the good thing was we got a chocolate bar on the way out. But still, I would have rathered to stay there But I am so happy we went there because of all the smiles I got to see because of us and I'm always going to remember them
