Person I Admire
"If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keeps walking, and keeps advancing." My mother is the person who I admire the most, looking up at her as my idol, and listen to her is my mother. By interviewing Mrs. Suwipha Charoensin gives me an idea that to change because of someone who is very special is not difficult and it even gives someone a new life. My mother changes her attitude because of my father from a stubborn and hot tempered woman to calm and steady person. To me I think it is very amazing that one person can change her nature which had stuck with her for a long time because of another man. This interview is very special because it is not easy to tell someone about your life. Before starting the interview I would like to tell about my mother. She is now 51 years old, chubby, and tan. When she was young she was staying with my grandfather first wife. My grandfather wife is kind her children are mean to my mom. Many events that had happened to my mother when she was young lead to her nature which was aggressive, hot tempered, and stubborn. “At that time I and my sisters were still young I was about 12 my younger sisters were 10 and 8 but we had to work very hard. Before going to school I had to cook the breakfast for everyone in the house. After I came back from the school I had to wash the clothes, iron the clothes, and cook the dinner. You might think that this is not that hard to do but one thing that had happened to me and I will never forget is that when ever someone’s money is lost, my step brothers and sisters will set up the fire and burn coal. What they do is that they will let me and my sisters touch that very red, hot, burning coal, I had no choice but to tell them I am the one who stole their money to protect my sisters from getting hurt. This event make me a stubborn child, very hot tempered and aggressive.”As I

    I was very wrong, interviewing Ms. Rose taught me many new things and helped me understand that every ethnic group deals with hardships, maybe not the exact same hardship but similar ones. Hearing some of the hard time Ms. Rose encountered with her live made me appreciate that I am living in a time where there is not much discrimination within communities. Although there are still hardships I know I cannot compare to the ones that Ms. Rose faced or to what her own family faced, where many rights were not available for to them and not able to share ideas or be involved with other ethnic groups. Ms. Rose shared that she has some chronic conditions that have been hard for her. In which she always has to be on the lookout for her health because serious problems could arise if she does not. This really opened up my eyes on how I need to take care of myself and try to be healthy because it can affect me in my older years. Although, Ms. Rose said she does not let her condition stop her from taking care of herself and being active. Getting to know Ms. Rose's condition made me realize that many elderly people endure these conditions or face other more challenging illnesses that affect their well-being on a day-to-day basis. Learning from Ms. Rose experience has helped me expand my thoughts on how I can help the elderly around me and share the knowledge that I have acquired from my interview and the knowledge gained from my class lectures. One of the difficulties that I encountered with my interview was that I had to communicate with Ms. Rose over the phone. I really would have liked to have met Ms. Rose in person because it would have been nice to see her expressions in the way she shared details of her life and accomplishments. Another thing that I had difficulty in was going out of my comfort…

    Before this assignment was conducted, I barely knew Maria. She was just my next store neighbor who I would talk to every so often. And by conducting this interview I gained a different perspective on life and was privileged to gain a new friendship as well. Maria, who is 67 years old, was very humorous, insightful, and full of life. She went into detail about her past experiences and was open about her regrets and accomplishments in life. She told me things about her children and they seemed very involved with her life. And for her age she is well off and is doing quite well physically and mentally. For some individuals that are not always the case. There are some individuals out there who have no one, or their health is in poor…

    After a long pause, she described a trip she took in college. Mom and her college friends went to Washington, D.C. over spring break. While there, they volunteered at a soup kitchen. "I got to meet people who were homeless and who, you know, depended on that shelter to give them food every day." She related. By this point, I was about to end the interview, but Mom asked “Do you ‍‍‍‍want to hear about when I went to the prison ministry?” It turns out that Mom also served in a prison ministry. On her weekly visits, she got to know the inmates better. She stumbled a bit while explaining the ministry, but eventually voiced her thoughts. "I mean, that just helped me to see, anybody can make a wrong choice or can go down a wrong path. …It doesn't mean you're not human, it doesn't mean you're unlovable..." While volunteering, Mom learned how to accept people who made mistakes.…

    To explain, I now better understand the importance of remaining happy and passionate in a successful marriage. Also, I feel that I better understand the adults in my life in the middle adulthood stage, especially my parents. Like Lilly, my mother gave up her career after giving birth to me. After this interview, I understand the conflict my mother underwent when she decided to give up the career she loved to become a stay at home mother. I now have more respect and admiration for my mother for sacrificing her career for my siblings and myself. Also, I have more insight into my parents’ marriage and the work and love it has taken for them to stay together for over twenty-five years. I feel that I now have a deeper understanding of the adults in my life and the developmental milestones they are undergoing as they…
