I began volunteering at Morningside House of Laurel since my freshmen year of high school. I normally volunteer on weekends for three hours‚ from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. When I arrive‚ the residents are cozily relaxed in the warm lounge‚ where I greet them “good morning.” I walk straight ahead and pass through the double doors to where the early dementia and Alzheimer’s residents are‚ known as the Memory Lane. Communicating with the early dementia and Alzheimer’s residents is difficult due to their

But the whole having to be tethered to a little kid? Seems a little shady to me‚ I don’t like it. And on top of that quells in general are bad news‚ careers haven’t won one yet‚ and the arenas are all really wacky.
