This past week the 2nd grade kids from Hannah's school had work experience. Hannah and two of her friends got to spend two days at a local old peoples home. For Hannah it was a real eye opener! The first thing she said after day one was that she never wants to work in that kind of place! It is hard work, both physically and emotionally. I think Hannah had a good time, she came back with some funny stories. The first day one old lady, in her 80's, kept saying that she was only in her 60's and didn't understand why she had to stay at the home! The staff told Hannah that she is a different age everyday and not to worry about her! Then Hannah was asked to get a hair dryer from one of the bathrooms. She opened the door to find a naked old man in there, talk about shock! The second day they spent time making a poster with the old people. Hannah felt sad that most of the people there couldn't grip a pencil or use scissors. It made her think about her own future as well. What she wants to do and how to get there! All in all a positive experience!
We are waiting to see if this typhoon is going to hit or not! According to the forecast it looks like next Tuesday. The last typhoon that was forecast for this area died out before it got to us, we got a load of rain but no wind! I am hoping for the same this time. Most of the kids are hoping for a real typhoon so they can have a day off school!
