A model answerToday I'm going to describe someone at work who is nearly retired. Actually, she's 70 years old and her name is Mary-Ann. I've been working with her for approximately 7 years and for some of that time, we've sat next to each other at our workstations. And the reasons I admire her? Well, there are a few. For one thing, she is energetic despite her age. I don't think most people realise how old she is because she seems younger than some colleagues in their 30s. Also, she doesn't complain. As you can imagine, at her age she's helping look after grandchildren and has a lively social life and yet still has to work, but I never hear her complaining about coming to work. Another reason I admire her is that she is respectful of other people's privacy. In other words she doesn't gossip and I like that in a colleague. I hope I can be like Mary-Ann when I'm older, or at least have her energy.
