"100 Candles on Her Next Cake, and Three R's to Get Her There"
Summary: Esther Tuttle, age 99, is months away from her 100th birthday. She speaks about what keeps her going and how the doctors help her and other centenarians stay healthy and strong. In the past twenty years, the number of centenarians in the country has increased by almost 60,000 people. She believes she's lucky to be living this long. Her secrets? She does yoga each morning, and takes a half an hour walk before eating a well balanced breakfast. She keeps up with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. She lives with her friend, her husband having passed away in 1988. She eats healthy meals and keeps up with her daily routine. She truly is a good example of how people should live.
Response: Mrs. Tuttle is someone to look up to. She has good, healthy habits and follows what the doctors tell her. When I get older, I'm going to do just what she does. My father, who is almost 58, eats a balanced meals, exercises by playing golf and doing yardwork every weekend, and follows his doctor's directions. Both my dad and Mrs. Tuttle are examples I'm going to follow for when I grow older. Mrs. Tuttle really has her priorities set straight and elderly people should try their best to follow examples like her.
