living with an older person (Erika M)

After my grandfather moved in with us, I began to realize the benefits of living with an older person. First of all, he has told me a lot of stories about our family history. He lived in America and married my grandmother. My father was born there. 20 years later, they moved to Japan. Then my father met my mother and I was born.Since my grandfather is retired, he has been able to spend a lot of time helping me with my schoolwork. When I cannot understand the English schoolwork, he teaches me how to read and write. Most importantly, Ive learned to appreciate the special qualities an older person can have. He has a lot of wisdom for living life.
