Extra Credit
When i was doing my interview for the extra credit i actually found myself enjoying it. I visited a member at the local nursing home and asked if she would mind talking to me about what it was like back in the day. Turns out she had a lot to say and we shared a few things in common here and there which was pretty cool. She was a victim of the great depression, but in the long run turned her life around and really did well. It was pretty cool to hear how she made it through all of that because kids these days are spoiled rotten and wouldnt have lasted or endured anything like what they had to. At a young age she ran away with the boy she met at the farmers market who stole her heart and from there she settled down, made amends with her family, and then created her own! Her son is active in the air force so it was really exciting to listen to her tell me about that. Overall i think it was just a good experience and i really enjoyed talking with her!

I like talking with elders about times when they were growing up, it is so interesting. When i hear the stories it was just a completely different world, they have seen so much it is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool! Sounds like a great interview! It reminds me of one of the patients I took care of during CNA clinicals this summer. He was the man who got the girl to run away. It's crazy how influenced we can be! I think it's really cool that things like being swept off your feet never really change.
ReplyDeleteThat is really awesome. I love old people, they have so much to share with you. Its sad to see how spoiled some kids are. I watch worlds strictest parents sometimes, and it's horrible to see how kids have degressed in their behavior over the years.
