When I read the cue card, the first person spring to my mind is Mrs. Hannah, an interesting elderly lady I met. She’s a retired teacher and I met her at the local library where she was volunteering in the children’s reading program. Mrs. Hannah has very kind, hospitable and gentle personality despite being in her late 7th D. She is still very active and has a great sense of optimism. She’s always smiling and has a bright smile which really inspires me. During my visit to my hometown, Mrs. Hannah and I spent a lot of time to talking about her life and experience. She told me about her year as a teacher and the students she talked in the period of 10 years. She also shared stories about her travels and the blessings she had seen. Honestly, she’s the only great storyteller who has even captivated me. All in all, I think Mrs. Hannah is an interesting person because she is so full of energy. She’s a great role model, not just for me, but also for young people. And honestly, I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to meet her.
