Hi Fellow classmates and Instructor, my name is Sandra Tharpe and so far I`m really enjoying my time here at AIU. It is good to know that you all are here and that you are interested in my presentation. I choose this topic because I have a passion for caring for others especially the elderly. I cared very much for my grandparents and that`s why I as the youngest of 4 did took it upon myself to make sure that they passed away knowing that I really cared. I miss them so dearly.
