The second visit to the St Christopher's hospice

I found the second visit overall, good. We each got a chance to get to know the patients individually and share stories with them. I pared with a patient names Cassandra. We talked about her childhood and her likes and dislikes. I felt that we hit it of very well. And even though our different interest in things we still found things we both could agree on. Started of with asking what she liked and if she had any hobbies as a child. She mentioned a lot of her love to football and being in the south she supported crystal palace football team, I remember he mention that its important to support the team in your area. That I agreed with. She also mentioned that she loves her music and listened to records like jazz. I am no expert in jazz but i do have family who love jazz and with that I still enjoyed listening to it. Me as a child I had an interest in football when younger so I do have knowledge of it, I hope to explore more into it, so it would be easier to exchange more conversation to the subject.

We talked about a lot of different things. She was not a fan of jewelry, and only owed studs. Something simple and even though it was easy to lose, I owned a lot of jewelry where i had bought them in market places ts and where they sell vintage. She always mentioned how she should have been a boy because her interests where more for the male role. She said she didnt have an instrument that she could play but was interested in playing guitar even though she thought her fingers were to small. She never went to college because her parents could not afford it, so straight after school she worked with her father at a factory. Then she learned how to drive and was the first in her family to have owned and driven a car. That we thought was an achievement. I had very much respected her for that and agreed it was better to be independent, something i never developed to have achieved.

Overall I thought this visit was successful.
