Opposite divide – less rest

Being a different generation, they not only have a different perspective but – the most important – different skills and experiences. I really enjoyed the interview but also made me think about myself.

I am lucky to have many friends, both men and women but, interesting, only two who have the same age as me, while others are in their 20s, 30s or 40s. I always put it in the fact that I teach in high school and is always surrounded by teenagers. I am responsible for a large number of staff but they are also always much younger than me.

I went directly to teach after my title and very quickly realized that I had a natural affinity with teenagers, especially the Stroppy; The more difficult and problematic they are, the more I like them. I myself am not difficult or behave badly in school. In fact, that’s the opposite. I work hard, quiet and a pleasant person. I don’t really have friends and it is a quiet time, but I bury myself in my work and do it much better than what I think there is something expected from me. Knowing I want to teach from around the third year (9 years), I pay attention to the prize and only do it.

My mother is my champion; A very intelligent woman and Mensa members in the future, she only achieved full potential during the war as the operator of Kinestesodolite. After the war, he was quickly placed ‘back to his place’ by my father, who had an ancient view of the ability and position of women in life. Ironically, my mother who always unites the family. He works two jobs and puts food on the table. I think he sees in me an opportunity that he never had and struggled hard for me.

When my father said I had to leave school at the age of 15, he allowed me to remain and do the level, and when I was determined to go to university, he did everything to help me support myself, actively against my father. I owe him a lot, not only to support me but also to show me how, regardless of very big difficulties, you can control your own life and get out of the winner.

He taught me more than anyone in my life to be tolerant, broad -minded, inclusive and curious in everything. He read greedily (as I did) and while he never once left this small island, he educated himself and learned about others, the country and culture with open interest. He believes that all ethnicities are the same and good, attention, empathy and, in a calm way, struggling against racism and a feminist inside, if outwardly. I owe him a lot.

Maybe this past, this influence, which has shaped my own view. I always become the champion of equality, be it race, class, sex or age and understand from the beginning that education is the key to many things; It brings opportunities, expanding your mind and makes you recognize that no one is an island. We all need each other in many ways, and that makes us much richer in the process.

The relationship that I have with my friends is very valuable, very giving and receiving. They gave me enthusiasm, sunlight, friendship, different perspectives and even doing work that I could not do alone, such as opening stoples or sweeping. However, most importantly, when you live alone, no one bounces or challenges your thoughts. This is what often makes older people unpleasant to be around, because they become dogmatic and manage their ways.

I communicate regularly with my sausages, but they rarely question my statement or face my prejudice. But fortunately my friends will definitely do it. I tried to give them the same thing as what they gave me. For some people, I do play the role of maternal; For others, I am a voice board with a different perspective and a safe space. I know I can bring experience and wisdom with calm and rational logic. With me, they know that they can always be themselves and say what they want. I was never surprised, and I always encourage the idea that we can talk about anything, there is no subject from the table. In addition to age differences, we are the same as those who bring something beautiful and valuable to relationships.

But not surprising, the link that binds us all is, you can guess, dog! I can only think of one of those who I don’t meet or know through the love and ownership of our dogs.

So, the interview that I listen to is a beautiful reminder that, regardless of all negative things about different generations and conflicts that are pushed on social media between men and women, extraordinary and extraordinary connections among us are still made. We often hear that age is just a number, and you know what? Truly.
