By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of them are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new 7, however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer's disease(老年痴呆症) became my 8. Every time I came into her room, she was so 9 because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never 10her, so I took her place. She let me 11 that making others feel good made me feel good, too. When she died, I was heartbroken, but I was very grateful to her.
