Old Folks????
Today I went to a care center to sing to some elderly poeple and bring their hopes up. I realized as i was driving over there that i was thinking to my self that i really didnt want to d this because talking to the old people would be really awkward and uncomfortable. Then i thjought thats exactly why i should do it, because it would bring me out of my comfort bubbnle and I;d be doing something new. I told myself that i would just go in there with a good attitude and have a good time. As i was walking through the halls of the care center i was asking myself why i had automatically not wanted to go when i heard we were going to sing toi the elderly. Its because of the sterotype that elderly people get. People think it will be uncomfortable becuase the old person will just ramble on and tell you the same story about how their brother died in WW2 like seven hundred times. In movies they always show old people as stupid ignorant people that have no idea whats going on around them. But thats really not the case, I had quite a talk with an elderly lady aboiut her life story and it was SO interesting and just cool to sit and listen to her. I think I'm gonna start going regularly to talk and sing with all my friends down there.
