At the beginning, i was a little scared about going to this place. I was thinking "what am i going to do ?". The old people, just fascinated me, because they had all this life behind them and a lot of experience. When I saw the building, it was like a little city for me. It was really nice and clean ant not too old. I was surprised by the inside of the building. It was new and large. We had a great welcome so that made me comfortable. And i knew i'm gonna be with Julia and that made me happy. All the old poeple were smiling and nice and that made me so happy. Because for me it's sad to live there but the old people's house looks really pleasant so i'm wondering if i can go there when i'll be old !
Si with Julia we begin our discussion with this cute old woman. At the beginning I felt a bit stressed and shy and sentence after sentence i felt more comfortable because we were getting closer. I was happy to undestand pratically everything. She spoke much more slowly than the teenager and that helped me a lot. I thought this conversation was very interesting. It is that kind of experience that you are not asking for but you are really happy after it. During the whole time with her, i saw the sadness, the happiness and she laughed too. I think she was like me, at the beginning she was shy and did'nt want to talk too much about her private life but afterwards we did'nt want to stop talking. She talked about the trips that she made ans she traveled a lot: times in Paris! And she tlaked about her dauther who was addited but she said that this addiction helped her every day in life because that kind of experience helps you to react.
I 'm very happy to have done it. It was very interesting and it wasa great experience for my life too.
Thanks to Julia ! And kathleen !
