INTERVIEW WITH AN OLD ADULT 2
Interview
Introduction
I held an interview with my mother, who is 84 years old. There are a lot of information that I
learned. I have described the flow of aspects I asked her in the subsequent sub-headings below:
Family
ME: What would you describe family to be?
MOTHER: Family is such a profound word for me. Family is a word I use to describe those that
are close to me as well as those who make me feels at home when I am around them.
ME: Would you talk about what is common in families?
You can choose friends, but you cannot select a family. Despite the difference in economic,
cultural, and social status, what is universal about families is how important they serve within
their relationship bounded by blood.
Childhood
ME: Would you say something about your childhood?
MOTHER: I was born in a family of 8 children, consisting of 5 sisters, two brothers. I am the last
born in our family; unfortunately, I am the only one existing. I often think about them because
we used to be very close and we shared a lot.
