Cross Generational Learning
Submitted by Ryan Howe on September 12, 2008 - 22:32. Hillsboro | Life's challengesWhen I was in 2nd grade I not only knew who I was and who my friends were but who I was going to be. In 6th grade I was quite sure(if not overly confident) in whom I was and would become. Now after my freshman year of college I am not sure of who I am, who I will become or who my friends are. I say this with perhaps some exaggeration and certainly little depth, because I have accumulated many pieces of the puzzle . Despite this, I have come to conclusion that what assisted me most in this has been my fortunate opportunity to meet so many interesting and wonderful people. Certainly many others, if not all, can say this yet I feel that few would say the majority of influential people in their life were old enough to be their grandparents. I mention this to emphasize what I see to be a rather neglected aspect of our lives.
