Alzheimer's
Inside My Mind
I did my second project on Alzheimer's, a disease that causes a progression of memory loss. I've always been curious about how it affects you as a person and how your family would react to it. I looked into the perspective of the patient (whoever has Alzheimer's and the perspective of someone who is watching a loved one live with Alzheimer's and has to take care of them. I personally have never had any family member or friend who had Alzheimer's, but it is a common disease to get as someone ages. The thinking skill for this project was perspective; with perspective, you put yourself into someone else's "shoes" and understand situations from their point of view.
