I value this experience of volunteering there because I got to learn about different life laws from them. In the building there is a group of Elderly Women and they are a spunky crew. These ladies have taught me to always help someone out, because chances are they have it worse than you. This group always has each others back, they are always trying to help each other grow and "Get the best out of the life we have left". Not only have those residents inspired me, but others have too. Each resident has a different story, some of their stories are rocky and others are smooth. But yet each of them puts on a smile and just takes one step at a time really and truly enjoys the time they have left. Its inspiring to see them continue on after such hard lives. It has inspired me to live in the moment and to serve because you want to, not because you have to. -Samantha Turpin, Ogden, Utah
