My Community Misty Eoriatti-Waymack ETH 125 03/14/2010 Five years ago I moved to a small town and it never crossed my mind about diversity. I am a white female and not a person who cares what race‚ sex‚ or social standing of the people in my community‚ but moving to a small town I just had not thought about ethnicity of my neighbors.

No matter how much I want to sleep in‚ every morning I wake up‚ eat breakfast‚ brush my teeth‚ put on my jeans and a t-shirt. I pack a lunch and throw it in my bag along with water bottles and a sweatshirt. I pull my boots on‚ go out the door and head to the barn. When I get to the barn‚ I put my lunchbox and water bottles in the refrigerator and my bag in the

the words noble‚ courageous‚ selflessness‚ and caring appeared across my ipad. Instantly I thought of my grandpa. I’ve always called my grandpa “Papa” since before I can remember.

horrified to learn that my elder has not made any end of life plans. She has no will‚ no life insurance‚ no advance directive… Nothing. And she didn’t want to hear about the benefits of any of those things. She has no plans about where and how she wants to live out the remaining years of her life other than “right where she is now”. I have to say that I was extremely concerned with her Brick wall she has built around the concept of aging and dying. I do not think that my elder has accepted the fact
