I like talking to older people and listening to their stories. I want other people to make an effort to talk to nursing home residents. I hope that people who see my passion will be inspired to connect to the older people in their community.]]> 2019-03-19 16:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/342943366 arlie_akers https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/343067334 Week 2 goal: Research your Passion
I am going to research how talking and interacting positively affects seniors. I also want to find some tips on good communication to make the interviews go more smoothly.]]> 2019-03-19 19:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/343067334 arlie_akers https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/343114415 This website helped me learn about how loneliness and isolation affect seniors’ health.

I met Charlie, Robert, Louis, and Beverly. They were all super nice and told me a lot of cool stories about their childhood and their parents. I also talked to Colleen, who worked there. ]]> 2019-03-26 13:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/345234002 arlie_akers https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/346562431 2019-03-29 14:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/346562431 arlie_akers https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/346572703 The week 3 goal is to solve a problem or predict the future in your Passion.

I did see Charlie though, and he was very happy that I came back. We chatted for a few minutes and then I left. I think I am making progress on building relationships though!]]> 2019-04-01 19:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/347374387 arlie_akers https://padlet.com/arlie_akers/u4l8c60yvkp0/wish/349548298 Week 4 Goal is Show and Tell.
