Parent Interview

After I interviewed my dad, I discovered that many things have changed over the past decades. However, some things are still the same, we still do the same things such as hanging out with our friends and doing sports and many more things. Then again, the technology has advanced and its more of an indoors life compared to back then. Back then, life was more outdoors, there was more surfing and swimming and that outdoor stuff. Now it's basically about technology and cars, and for some people moving. When my dad was young they had always lived in the same city and same house all their life so he's alway been with the same friends, but now people are moving a lot so you always have to make new friends. I think that it is harder to be an adolescent now because there are more challenges compared to back then. Now, people move a lot, this means you need to make new friends all the time. It was also probably a lot safer back then so you would be allowed to go out with yourself or with your friends all the time. Now you always have to be careful no matter where you are. I am glad that I did this interview because now I learnt so many things about my dad and how things have changed over the generations.

FRIM- Social Life

While I was at FRIM, I enjoyed being surrounded by people. It made me feel like i was full of life. However, some times I felt uncomfortable at the same time because you don't get as much privacy as you would if you were on your own. I felt like I was being watched by everyone. When I was on the canopy walk, I realized that I had a fear of heights. I started getting really paranoid with people coming to close to me on the canopy walk but no one listened. Then again I was also annoyed when I realized I had to use squat toilets, sleeping of the floor and eating chicken rice for breakfast, lunch and diner. Although not all things were uncomfortable, I still had plenty of fun during this FRIM trip and I wouldn't mind if I had to do it again.

My Inspirational Quote

There is more to life than increasing its speed.

The Explanation for my Quote

I think what this quote is trying to say is that our life is very short so don't try to make it go too fast because when you do, you will soon realize that it has all gone. Instead ,carefully take time to look and enjoy what you have right now, because one day it might gone.
