Feelings on Old People
I personally believe old people are annoying. At least one in particular(my neighbor). She has a weird ass voice that's so freaking annoying like its the type of voice that can literally give you a headache, and you just want that person to leave your house as soon as possible so you wont have to hear their voice anymore. Old people also tend to talk a lot, to the point where you always try to sneak out the conversation, but they keep going, and when you have somewhere to go, you just dont know how to excuse yourself without being disrespectful and rude. Really really old people STINK. They have this nasty smell, I like to call it DEATH. Nothing more to be said. I HATE PEOPLE WHO YELL. OLD PEOPLE WHO YELL***
THE POSITIVES
There are some old people who are really really cool. They are usually always there when you need someone to talk to. And they are usually one of the only people who care just to care, no strings attached, and they call once in a while just to check up on you for no important reason.

Old Folks (interviews)
I was only able to do 1 interview because I dont really have old people in my life. (just mom and dad, and I have interview with mom on other post)
DaD
1. What would be one thing you would tell me to watch out for if we were living in your childhood?
People like your mother.
2. Can you tell me what you believe was the most meaningful event in your life?
Being able to come to the United States and get an opportunity that many dont ever get.
3. Was your life even meaningful? Why or why not?
To an extent it was meaningful but then it also wasnt. It was meaningful because he's experienced so much, both good and bad, but to him,having a meaningful life, is being able to live happily and comfortably and most importantly, loved. None of which he is now, so up to this point, his life is leaning more towards not being meaningful than being meaningful.
4. Looking back on your life, is there anything you would un-do?
I would've liked to spend more time with my father before he passed away. I feel that as soon as I came here (United States) I pretty much abandoned my family, I mean we did speak very often, but its not the same as being able to see the person face to face and hug and kiss and share good times.
5. Who is the most important person in your life?
Aside from God, I dont really think there is that one significant person who I can say makes my life more special, other than my kids. I have 8 but all of them seem to care about me for a certain time period then just forget about me. With that being said though, I do love them all but I just wish I were more important to them.

elder answers my questions
1. What would be one thing you would tell me to watch out for if we were living in your childhood?
Forget the streets or your friends, its all about family, with the rough times. You have to work to support your family. No one else. Bottom line.
2. Can you tell me what you believe was the most meaningful event in your life?
As a little girl, getting a job and giving every penny to her mother.
3. Was your life even meaningful? Why or why not?
Not yet. Once she's retired, living in DR, comfortably, then, and only then, will her life be meaningful. Right now, she's still working, barely getting by, and very uncomfortable.
4. Looking back on your life, is there anything you would un-do?
Marrying my father.
5. Who is the most important person in your life?
God. I thank him for every breathe I take and for every day he allows me to live.
6. What makes them this?
He died for me. He's just so special.
