Interview

    
     After considering everyone in my life that I know there was one person that I can relate to the most. Through my life time I have felt that there was always one person that I knew that I could trust and that was my father. He was the man that I knew that I could trust if there was nobody else that I did in fact trust. He is the man that would drop what he is doing to assist you if you needed any type of help with the task at hand. Learning from him I have developed traits that I will carry on throughout my entire life and when he does die his legacy will live on through me and my kids and the habits that we will all have. My father lived in a different time period where manners where enforced and respect was earned not given.

     My father grew up just a few years after World War 2 and a few years before Vietnam which basically means he grew up in that awkward time between the wars known as the baby boom. Yeah, my father was one of those babies who were born because all the soldiers came home from war. His childhood was way different that my childhood was, for one thing kids back than had a ton more freedom than the kids of the present. Adults back than weren't as afraid of the world around them compared to today. Parents of the present are so over protective, I will give you based on some of the stories that I have heard from my father’s childhood are rather ridiculous, the fact that parents did give them a ton of freedom at a really young age stuns me but the parents of today don't really give kids any freedom. The same goes for high school, the technology that the schools have today are amazing compared to no technology when my dad was a kid, and yet the average ability to learn is steadily decreasing. Teenagers of the current day have so much technology that they are becoming lazier and all they want is the easy way in life. The views on life where also different back then, teens weren't taking criticism as serious as they are today, suicide is a more recent thing that has been going on. As the saying goes "suicide is a lifelong solution for a short term problem", which is basically saying killing yourself over a problem you face currently is rather pathetic because the problem you face will eventually go away.

     Throughout your life you have to make many decision, some you are glad you made and there are some you wish you had not made. Everyone makes bad decisions some of the decisions my father wish he had not done was going to war. Though it was not his choice to go to war due to him being drafted into the military he still has to have on his conscience that he has killed other men. In your mind you have to get over the fact that you have killed someone, the truth about war is when it comes down to battle it is either he dies or you do. So the thoughts about killing others get pushed aside because you don't want to end up on the ground dead. Another decision my father wishes he had not made was investing his time into a company that he was not make a ton of money off of. Though he is glad he had made a few choices in life like marrying my mom and having a son. Also he was glad he has had a long and healthy life so far.

     No matter whom you are you think about your future and how you see yourself in ten years. My dad sees himself lying in a hammock on one of the beaches in Puerto Rico, without a care in the world. My dad would have to retire for that to be a possibility, but my dad doesn't really want to do that because work keeps him busy. In my own opinion I think the link between life and death is work. When you are first born you have a lot of things to learn. Throughout the person’s life they have different skills they learn which takes work to achieve them. Once they stop working and stop trying to learn new things they gradually die. My dad hopes that flying cars have been invented before he dies so he can fly to any place he wants to and won't have to pay for planes. Wouldn't it be nice to have a flying car, can you imagine that. There would be no more traffic because the cars would not all be on one level in the sky. Whether scientists are ever able to figure out a way to make flying cars that will just depend but who ever could figure this scientific breakthrough would become very wealthy. Also if a scientist was able to make some type of teleportation device that could teleport you from one place to another that would be rather cool.

     After talking with my dad about his childhood, not just about how kids are overprotected and lazy now days I also learned how easy my life is compared to how difficult his childhood was. My dad grew up during a time where there were a million different brands of each product, there was a single brand of most products and you either liked it or would use it, or you would be forced to suffer or not use it at all. Also his childhood was back when the cars where made not to go as fast as they are made today which just makes life a little longer. Also he had to share his stuff with his brother because he lived in a time where if you had one then why would you need another. Like don't get me wrong my dad’s family wasn't poor it was that families needed less to live on they didn't need everything for them to be happy.

     After having sat down with my dad and talking about his life I realize that my life is rather easy in comparison to his. He also said that if he had a chance to do it all over again he would not change a thing. The things you do in your life define you as a person and if you change those actions you are altering yourself as a human being, nobody is perfect.
