Comparison and Contrast Essay

Excerpt
Throughout my junior and senior year in high school, I did housework to make extra spending money. I worked for two elderly ladies who each lived alone in the same apartment complex. They were both slightly disabled by the maladies of old age, and having to do housework tired them. Although it was not always fun, I got to know them quite well, partly because I knew every corner of their homes, which strongly reflected their personalities. Before I began working for them, I had never known any older people besides my grandparents. I assumed that their interests and attitudes would be somewhat the same. Comparing the personalities of these two women, however, I saw interesting contrasts. I discovered that their attitudes and interests, developed throughout their lives, determined their fulfillment in their present lives.
