A New Friend and Perspective (视角)

I picked up the phone, slowly dialing the number to her house. All I could think was what we could possibly have a conversation about, 36 ! I didn’t think I could have anything in common with someone who is 50 years older than me.

“Your grandmother won’t be around forever,” my mom said, 37 I just did what she told me and painfully 38 my grandmother. What I didn’t know was that the phone call would change my perspective on life and my grandmother.

When she answered the 39 I planned to have a small conversation. Instead, she invited me to lunch. Hesitantly, I replied with a “ 40 .”

When I hung up the phone, I immediately regretted 41 to the lunch date. How was I going to fit this 42 my busy schedule of homework, games, and friends? It was not my ideal Saturday, but I sucked it up and 43 anyway. Me and my grandmother… nothing to talk about.

44 , my Saturday morning wasn’t painful. I was interested in listening about her recent trip t o Europe and how she saw the famous Eiffel Tower. She told me stories about her sewing class and her friends.

I wasn’t aware that 60-year-old people had a social life. It turned out that her life wasn’t as 45 as I thought. For once, I was 46 without friends and without my cell phone. We planned to meet again at her house. This time, my mom didn’t have to 47 me.

During the next visit, we sorted through three shoeboxes of photographs. There was an interesting story for each one. I learned that as humans, we share human experiences, no matter what age.

48 I made the first phone call to my grandmother, we have talked at least once a week. I regret not calling her 49 . Her advice has taught me things that can’t be learned in a t extbook. She taught me to be open to new things, to enjoy the simple things, and to appreciate what life has given me. I have 50 a friend, a mentor (导师) , and a new perspective.
