What advice would you give?

When working at a retirement community be friendly and open with everyone. The residents are so excited to hear all about your life and they love to tell you about theirs. When they want to show pictures of their grandchildren, look; when they want to hear the details of your weekend, tell them. The friendships that are created over the semester are absolutely wonderful!
