'I had the privilege of call into questioning a 60 family old gentlemen who I will identify as Mr. E to protect his privacy for this assignment. The goal of my interview was to gain insight on aging from an honest-to-goodness adult. I interviewed Mr. E in his home on a weekday evening. He expressed appreciation and was impress that he was the focus of an interview in which his flavour story and thoughts would be recorded. Mr. E was born in a ranch in Guadalajara, Mexico. He is the youngest male child of nine children. His father passed away when he was 1 †year old. He was privileged to attend round-eyed school from the 1st grade to the 4th grade.Mr. E had the responsibility of helping support the family as at that place were only two male children in the family and the be siblings were female. At 13 years of age he went to the neighboring state of Tepic, Nayarit to work in agriculture. He was 15- years old when he immigrated to the United States by himself. Mr. E resil ientd with friends who helped him find a seam 3 weeks after he moved to the United States. He worked as a busboy at a restaurant for 3 months. He left that ancestry to work in the snip industry do jeans, shirts and blouses for 3 years. I was the only man workings there at that time” (E. Privacy, personalized communication, October 10, 2012). Mr. E observed that years later he sawing machine more males seeking employment in the garment factories because word spread that any undocumented several(prenominal)body could work making clo topic regardless of gender. He financially supported  two infant children on those wages. He then worked in a stuff for 7 years making electrical separate for cars. After that he worked as a nurseryman and left the business to his son when he retired.

Citizen and has helped many a(prenominal) family membe rs also obtain their citizenships in the past decades. He is a grandfather of 5 and looks forward to see great grandchildren in the future. I asked Mr. E (2012) what he better enjoyed about being an aged(a) adult. You argon a person that sees things for what they are. As if you walked a pathway and see what you could of done but didn’t. How could you behave lived and non lived. You see your errors. Like when you are on a cliff looking down or on the clouds and looking down.When asked about challenges to get older (2012) Mr. E matte up that accepting the challenges and just living the best you can is all you can do. Try to live in peace and love what is on earth. When you take of death you have to accept it. Why postulate it you are going in that direction. You have to claim a decision. He told me a story of a friend he had who had cancer and she made the woof to stop the chemotherapy. Her arms had scabs and she decided enough was enough. She k advanced she wasnâ⠂¬â„¢t going to get better. She talked about death as if she were going to a party.He described how she appeared to be at peace because she lived a fulfilling life. Mr. E felt that she further and motivated him more than he to her. Mr. E felt that the greatest joys of getting older were family and seeing it grow. He also felt that being loved and having others call in highly of you were great achievements. Looking back on his life Mr. E felt that the only thing he could have done differently was to be more patient, smarter, more humane and not seduce as many mistakes. â€Å"You look back and speak up that you were not open to see things that are demonstrable” (E.Privacy, personal communication, October 10, 2012). When asked about fears of getting older Mr. E stated that living with diseases and not being able to pay for medications and hospitalizations was a concern for him. Although, he has insurance he stated it is very expensive and he is worried he might not ever so be able to pay the high amount. He stated that he worried about sledding family members behind that may not be emotionally and financially stable. ?The final thoughts Mr. E left me with were some positive things that he anticipate as getting older. Seeing the world as a paradise, enjoying expense time with horses and seeing family grow older and put out”(E. Privacy, personal communication, October 10, 2012). ?Throughout the interview themes such as family and time arose over and over again. His emphasis on missed opportunities with family has taught me that if I am not scrupulous I will also have the homogeneous concerns when I am an older adult. He didn’t mention business as a trouble even though when he talked about his personal history the majority of that conversation was on job history.During the interview I was on the edge of my seat because he had a lot of wisdom to touch and I knew that I was lucky to get advice from psyche who has lived longer than I have. My perceptions of older adults has not changed as I have always felt that they have bigger wealth of information greater than Google. My new perceptions of aging are that healthcare is one of the biggest concerns for older adults. I need to hurry up and starting time planning for my own health care as I have not really given(p) it priority in my life. This interview has confirmed my liking to work with older adults.\r\n'
