First Day With Seniors!

Yesterday evening (the 10th of November 2012) was my first volunteer shift at Andrews of Stratford Seniors Home.  I will be mostly responsible for reception duties there, something completely foreign to me! When people call in I am to take their calls and transfer them to a certain person if that is what they are calling for.  However, I soon found that it wasn't too difficult but definitely out of my comfort zone.  I had a good time though, it was so quiet and peaceful there that I felt more at ease.  I also had the chance to interact with a few seniors who were still awake (my shift was 6:30-8:30 pm) which was also new to me as I haven't had much experience with seniors before.  It all went well though and I look forward to this volunteer job!
