I was working as a caregiver for the elderly. I helped people with their household chores. The job involved putting clothes on shelves, making beds, sweeping the floor, cleaning the room, cleaning the toilet, and washing the bathroom. I worked for three months. During that time, I built good relationships with them, but the people suddenly fell ill and passed away. I had to face another person’s death many times. On the other hand, communicating with them gave me positive feelings about the work. I helped them by listening to their difficulties, checking their condition, and thinking about what I could do for them. Eventually I left the job, but this was an incredible experience learning about welfare for the elderly.    (121 words)
