    Life Interview Review

    When I saw Ms. Mary Walker, the word “Old” does not even cross my mind. I was very surprised when I found out her age. It seemed strange that a woman of this age could show so much youth, little wrinkles, mobility, and did not cough every ten seconds as an indicator of good health. Identifying her as an individual in the 68 + age range seemed misleading but a glance at her salt and pepper afro provided some proof. A natural inquisitiveness in me wanted to know her secret. Luckily, I was given an assignment that appeared to be perfectly suitable to ask all the right questions-A Life Review. I had seen Ms. Walker several times in my childhood. We attended the same church, I met some of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, but I knew little about her life journey. One day I asked my grandmother to mention to her that I wanted to interview her for an assignment. With the relief of not being let down, my grandmother gave me her contact number the next day. A few days later, I called her to make sure that she was still interested. With the right reply, I scheduled a day when we could meet and have breakfast. That day came on August 10, 2012 at a restaurant called International House of Pancakes (IHOP). She entered the restaurant door free of prosthetic devices- another sign of good health. A woman of African American decent who stood 5’7 wearing a slightly nervous yet cheerful expression greeted me. “It’s nice to see, Aminata. Why haven’t I seen you in church lately?” The answer to her question would result in a bunch of made up excuses. This was the perfect time to redirect and focus on the assignment that brought us together to complete “The Life Review of Ms. Mary Walker”.…

    The Effects Of Homelessness On The Health Challenges Of Aging People

    Mrs. Clark maintained this same optimistic outlook when discussing how she is treated at her age and the health challenges she faces. In terms of treatment of the elderly, she expressed that “most people are helpful, kind and considerate.” According to Mrs. Clark, the generosity of people has become increasingly noticeable since my grandpa had a stroke. The stroke effected my grandpa mentally, and physically, but he is currently recovering. She explained that, “since Ed [my grandpa] has been sick, I find that people are always willing to help us when they see is. People have always been willing to hold the door open for us and to assist in getting him in and out the car. We have not run into anybody who has been mean or inconsiderate.” The…

    Old Age and Wise Indian Woman

    I observed my ninety year old grandmother. She has changed a lot over the years. I noticed the different ways she move around and the way she dresses. My grandmother moves slow as if she was racing a snail. She uses a cane to walk and sometimes stops while walking. Before she could do everything on her own but from the observation she needs a lot of assistance now. I see her now and she be putting her all into moving as if she was reaching out to God himself. When I observed her at the home she moved only when she was going to the restroom, getting ready to eat, or wanted to go to another room to talk with the family. She did not use her cane while at home she only used it when she went out or a walk or out of the house. She can not stand for long period of time. On the day she went to the grocery store she walked around the store with her cane. She did have to stop repeatedly because she was tired. Finally, she went to the front of the store and sat on the bench until we finished shopping. I noticed she had a shortness of breath. I asked my grandmother was she feeling well during the observation and did she need to sit down. She stated, “I am fine just need to do as you said and sit down”. Although, could not see her heart beating fast I could feel it when I helped her sit down. Ironically, while she was preparing to sit down I noticed the color of her eyes. I asked her how is it that her eyes are different than a couple of years ago. Her eyes were grey and watery like she had been crying for days. She stated, my eyes use to be green but the older I became they changed…
