3rd Interview (Great Aunt)

Interview with my Great Aunt

-Are you satisfied with your life? Do you have any regrets? If you could take back or redo some things in your life, what would they be and why?

I say that I’ve lived life and seen a lot in the world. I help raised a lot of kids; friends, family, and even neighbors.

-What is your motivation for getting up every day and living your life?

Life itself. Thanking god for allowing me to see another day. My children and my grand kids.

-What does it mean to live a meaningful life and why do you think so?

Meaningful life is basically achieving a lot of the things you accomplished. Seeing your goals produce.

-In your perspective was your life meaningful? Why or why not?

Yea.

-What have you learned from your life? What would be your most important life lesson that if you could, you would 'warn' or pass on to others?

You learn from your mistakes and pass it on to others so that they won’t make the same trials and tribulations.

-Can you think back to when you were younger? Was your life everything you expected it to be?

No because you always create a vision of what you want your life to be but most the time it doesn’t always plan out that way. You always view life through the eyes of your parents and what they teach you.

-What is your perspective about death? Are you afraid to die? Do you believe in an eternal after life? Do you believe you’re after life is a happy place?

Yep. When you die, you become a spirit but you still live in the afterlife. Your flesh is what stays behind, but your soul is what becomes a spirit. I believe in reincarnation. Things that other people say or do that might remind you of the other person that passed away. No, I’m not afraid to die. No one wants to die but you have to die somehow.

-If you could create a bucket list of absolutely anything you would want to do/experience before you die, what would go in your list and why? Do these things have any importance or meaning to your life?

Achieve all the things that I never got to do and try to see them. When I leave, I want to leave some type of mark that people will remember me by.

-Would you trade your life at this moment in time with a younger person? Why or why not?

No because I already experienced everything I needed to know and everything god wanted me to see.
