when i finished my A-levels, at uh the age of eighteen, i went onto a care course. and even from that age, i realised that i wanted to work with old people. i feel very natural working with them. and i just seem to click, and understand their needs, more than some people. i've had a lot of experience working with old people in nursing homes, and day centres. a lot of people with Alzheimer's and dementia, which i find really interesting.

i enjoy doing activities with them. in the day centre we used to do, um, art and craft, uh_ in the day centre we used to do art and craft lessons. and reminiscence groups, which i found really interesting. the way they, they come out with different stories of their school days. and when they got married, or when they met their partner. also brings back a lot of memories that can be sad and happy.

we used to go on trips. we've been to the beach, and out for picnics, and shopping trips. which is always quite enjoyable. especially when they, enjoy it, as much as we do. when i was younger i had a lot of contact with old people. i used to, live right near my grandparents, which was good, because we used to get on really well. it was like having an extra mom and dad that used to treat us. and give us presents, and sweets and things.

uh, most people on my social work course, want to work with children. but, i've never, been interested in working with children. and i've always enjoyed working with old people. and that's probably where i'll stay.
