00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:03.490
<v ->I started volunteering at a nursing home</v>

2
00:00:03.490 --> 00:00:05.430
when I was 13 years old.

3
00:00:05.430 --> 00:00:08.130
It's been in my heart since then.

4
00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:10.150
I feel like I have family.

5
00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:11.740
I feel like I'm needed.

6
00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:14.110
I've gotten close to a lotta the residents

7
00:00:14.110 --> 00:00:16.580
and I feel like they've gotten close to me.

8
00:00:16.580 --> 00:00:18.810
And if they need me, I'm there.

9
00:00:18.810 --> 00:00:23.150
I reassure all my folks here that they can trust all of us.

10
00:00:24.220 --> 00:00:26.140
To get to know your residents,

11
00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:29.520
sit down and take the time with them one-on-one

12
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:33.610
with no distractions around you and really listen to 'em.

13
00:00:33.610 --> 00:00:35.530
You'll gain their trust.

14
00:00:35.530 --> 00:00:38.313
You'll gain a friend and an ally.

15
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.720
They all have stories, and you can learn from 'em.

16
00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:45.700
You can grow from 'em.

17
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:47.320
That's what's in my heart.

18
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:48.340
That's what I wanna do.

19
00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:52.300
I want to have a job where I can spend time with them

20
00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:53.910
and get to know 'em,

21
00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:56.500
each and every one that comes in the door.

22
00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:57.740
I love 'em.

23
00:00:57.740 --> 00:00:59.403
I love all these residents here.
