Bailey had a Great Aunt who recently moved to Bailey's city. Even though she barely knew her Great Aunt, Bailey was worried that she might be lonely in a new town without any of her friends. She wanted to make sure that her Great Aunt felt loved and not forgotten in her new home at the retirement community.

So, every afternoon that Bailey didn't have dance class, she rode her bike a few blocks from her house to the retirement village to pay a visit to her Great Aunt. Every time she visited her, Bailey would try to find small gifts that would cheer her up, like a loaf of pumpkin bread, a small bouquet of flowers from Bailey's backyard, or a deck of cards so they could play rummy together. She also brought some of her favorite books to read to her Great Aunt, since her Aunt's eyes were not as sharp as they used to be.

Bailey's Aunt looked forward to her visits and grew to love her like her own granddaughter. Everyone at the retirement community loved Bailey too and always looked forward to seeing her smiling face.

What does Bailey want (her motivation), and how do you know?

• She wants to work at a retirement home because she likes old people.

• She wants to be a ballet dancer because it's fun.

• She wants to spend time with her aunt because she is worried her aunt is lonely.

• She wants to get a pet so she will have a friend.
