How Old is Old?

How Old is Old?

By Ashton G

In my opinion, I think 92 is old. So in this short story I will tell you why.

My first reason is that my great-grandma is 92. She lives in Calgary, Alberta. She resides in an assisted living senior complex. She lives there  because her one daughter (My grandma is still alive!!)and husband have passed on and she needs help with basic needs. I wish we lived closer to her.

The second reason why I think 92 is old is because 92 is only 8 years away from 100, and living to be 100 is a big deal! 100 years is a long time. If anyone who's reading this is 100 or close to 100, awesome!!! That is so cool!!!

The third and last reason why I think 92 is old is because my great-grandma can't remember much anymore. I guess as you get older, you start to lose your memory. There is nothing wrong with that, though I wish she would remember who I was and not mistake me for my mom when I see her. Sometimes she doesn't even remember her own name. I feel bad for her, but I know she's somewhere nice. 

So those are my reasons!! I hope you enjoyed my little story! Even though I think 92 is old, maybe you have a different opinion. Anyways, thanks again!! And remember, if you consider yourself old, keep living your life until you can't and you won't regret a bit of it!!!
