I have worked many service jobs throughout my life. Most of those times I worked with the elderly in nursing and retirement homes. I enjoy volunteering for these people because being able to connect and hear stories with people who have lived a much longer life than mine gives me purpose. My service at these homes was a different type of work than being at the forest preserve however, the help I bring the the people in their home is very important. This includes bringing dinner to the table, playing board games to past time, or even taking someone for a walk. I was able to connect with so many people and get close to them more then I ever could.
