My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season. The first twothere were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them. As we wereon the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of themoff at the walls or floor. However, one ladymy eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn’t like that. As we gotwith each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. she was singing, she was alsoout to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my were to my students. People who worked at the care center could to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about. Justin alsothe same lady. The difference between us is that he on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in herand with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my to let you know that.” This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. Nocan completely describe that touching moment... Ita boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love. Justin’s example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was athat I will never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myselfto have witnessed his lesson.
