MY COMPOSITION
DESCRIBE YOUR FEELINGS WHEN YOU VISITED AN OLD AGE HOME


I recently visited an old age home when I visited my grandparent’s place. It was an all-new experience and brought in me a lot of emotions that I thought I didn’t even possess. When I stepped inside the house, I was immediately greeted by all the beautiful people there. They talked about home people seldom come to visit them because they don’t have an interest in them. The old people there have such different lifestyles. They dress differently, eat differently, have different modes of entertainment which I felt sickening. People around our age have devices that we check for close to 12 hours a day and that mere substance gets rid of our boredom.
No sooner did I make myself at home than everyone there came gave me sweets, chocolates just to keep me company and so that I don’t get bored. They were so taasty that my taste buds began to light up! I never understood the wisdom that people of their age possessed and I don’t even now. Seeing those cheerful jovial faces in fact won me over. I had chills up my spines that questioned me whether what treatment they were getting her was actually what the deserved. They spent years after years taking care of their children, exposing them to all the wonders of nature and is this what they get in return? 
I heard people singing in the background some old folk songs which I had never even heard of. I joined them and they took me into their groups with hugs and lots of love. What they sang was so charming that I wished that I had a recorder on me to listen to all their stories. At the back I also saw a few men trying to pluck the coconut from the trees and since I was an expert at tree climbing, I rushed to their help. When I started climbing, they started staring at me with such bewilderment and laughed because it reminded them of their days.
I had spent almost an entire day with them listening to their songs, making food with them, pranking them, enjoying every moment that I would like to relive every day and when it was time to leave, I wished them all the happiness that they could ever wish for themselves and bid them goodbye. It was an experience that I could never ever forget. And as I walked out of those doors I had a mindset that in the future I would make our nation proud, become a philanthropist and give every kind of help to the people who at one time led this country to the nation it is today.
PEACE XD
