I had the privilege of consultationing a 60 year old gentlemen who I allow for identify as Mr. E to protect his privacy for this assignment. The goal of my interview was to gain brain wave on aging from an fourth-year adult. I interviewed Mr. E in his dwelling on a weekday regular(a)ing. He expressed appreciation and was surprised that he was the focus of an interview in which his life story and thoughts would be recorded. Mr. E was born in a ranch in Guadalajara, Mexico. He is the youngest tidings of nine pincerren. His father passed away when he was 1 year old. He was privileged to attend elementary school from the 1st grade to the fourth grade.Mr. E had the responsibility of helping support the family as there were and two male children in the family and the remaining siblings were female. At 13 age of age he went to the neighboring state of Tepic, Nayarit to mildew in agriculture. He was 15- age old when he immigrated to the coupled States by himself. Mr. E lived with friends who helped him decree a job 3 weeks after he moved to the United States. He worked as a busboy at a eatery for 3 months. He left that job to work in the fit industry making jeans, shirts and blouses for 3 years. I was the exactly man running(a) there at that judgment of conviction (E. Privacy, personal communication, October 10, 2012). Mr. E observed that years later he saw more males actualiseking employment in the garment factories because word spread that any undocumented individual could work making clothing regardless of gender. He financially supported two infant children on those wages. He then worked in a framework for 7 years making electrical parts for cars. After that he worked as a gardener and left the business to his son when he retired. He was married at the age of 18 and had his first child at the age of 21.Two years later he had a daughter. He became a U. S. Citizen and has helped many family members also obtain their citizenships in the past dec ades. He is a grandfather of 5 and impressions forward to seeing owing(p) grandchildren in the future. I asked Mr. E (2012) what he best enjoyed about being an older adult. You be a person that sees things for what they are. As if you walked a path and see what you could of done but didnt. How could you see lived and not 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 getting older (2012) Mr. E felt that evaluate the challenges and just quick the best you can is all you can do. get a line to live in tranquility and love what is on earth. When you think of termination you have to accept it. Why fight it you are going in that direction. You have to make a decision. He told me a story of a friend he had who had cancer and she made the choice to stop the chemotherapy. Her armor had scabs and she decided enough was enough. She knew she wasnt going to get better. She talked about closing as i f 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 encouraged 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 think 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 make as many mistakes. You look back and think that you were not able to see things that are pellucid (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 cover for medications and hospitalizations was a concern for him. Although, he has insurance he stated it is very expensive and he is disordered he might not always be able to pay the high amount. He stated that he worried about release fa mily members behind that may not be emotionally and financially stable. ?The final exam thoughts Mr. E left me with were some positive things that he anticipate as getting older. Seeing the world as a paradise, enjoying spending time with horses and seeing family grow older and expand(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 careful I will also have the same concerns when I am an older adult. He didnt mention business as a regret even though when he talked about his personal history the majority of that chat was on job history.During the interview I was on the edge of my asshole because he had a lot of wisdom to share and I knew that I was lucky to get advice from somebody 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 scram planning for my own health care as I have not really given it priority in my life. This interview has substantiate my desire to work with older adults.
