ACTIVITY 8: Late Adulthood

As young adults, it was very comforting and refreshing to talk to someone wiser who have experienced what life had to offer more than we have. It is not common for young people to have a genuine conversation with someone who are older, and to have the opportunity to sit and conduct this interview has given us a whole new perspective on life and how we wish to see ourselves in years to come. As 20-something year olds, it might be hard to see and visualise where we would be mentally, physically, academically and financially. This can cause a lot of anxiousness and it can take a toll on our mental health. Gaining new perspective on life helps keep our minds at rest about the impending future; it helps us re-evaluate ourselves. We came out of the interview with more knowledge and wisdom, which is more than we could ask for. We would definitely encourage other people to take some time out of their day to talk to someone older than them; they might find that we all struggle with the same thing despite our ages, and we might learn new things about life as we may not know it.
