ACTIVITY 8:LIFE IN THE LATE ADULTHOOD

Our group has an interview with my other grandfather which is a husband to my real grandfather sister. His name is Unggang Anak Junit and he is 78 years old now. He has 14 siblings and he was 3rd child in his family. In this interview I have asked a few questions that he must answer like:

  1. What kind of life that you want?

  – I don’t want much in this life, it is always enough to live better like today. I already happy with my life today. Actually yes, I want more than this but I’m already old.

2. Your life’s journey?

  – My life journey is it many challenges to face while we want a good life. And this challenge gives me the life that I do now. And I happy about it because it makes me learn what is life.

3. Your health?

– I’m old now and we all know that when old we become not strong enough to do heavy work. We also can get sick easily. But that is normal and we have to stay healthy.

4. Relationship

– I have married my wife name Nyimpan Anak Nyadang. And I’m honestly very proud that the relationship between my wife and me is 45 years old now. We only have one daughter name Tina Anak Udam and she now works as a teacher at SMK Long Lama

5. Technology versus humanity

  – Nowadays, we can’t avoid technology because it helps us to achieve our development. But I’m still proud of humanity’s energy back then.

6. Your important life lesson

 – There are many things that happen in our lives and we have some problems to faces while we have different successes. That why don’t ever compare yourself with others because we have to face the same thing although it in different times and ways.

REFLECTION

After having an interview with Unggang Anak Junit who is my grandfather. Overall, he has lived a life that quite challenging and he has learned so much from it. He seems to enjoy his life very much and always remembers about his childhood memory.

Conclusion

From this activity, our group has learned that the more we have old it will changing our skills and mind. The more we become old, there are more problems we must face like diseases and we will be easy to forget and tired. Lastly, sometimes this life makes them enjoy and have learn many things.
