I have heard of the AARP before but I had not really done much research on it. The AARP stands for: American Association of Retired Persons and was founded in 1958 by Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, which that is the first thing I did not know. I had never looked at this website before and did not know there was so much information on it. I did not know there were so many links and articles you could look at. When I clicked on Family and Friends, the first thing I saw was bold letters saying "New help for Grandparents raising Grandchildren" and I think something like this would be very helpful because I think today so many grandparents are raising their grandchildren. I also did not know this website has technology information. I also clicked on a tab that said 8 rules for new caregivers. 1 Start with candid conversation 2. Set your priorities 3. Build a support network and many more. When I clicked the tab "Health" there were many different links about care giving. I read that cancer comes with a 69 percent five-year survival rate, which increased from 49 percent in 1975. I also learned that AARP Foundation Experience Corps change lives of over 31,000 children by helping them become better readers.
