Childhood Interview Assignment

This paper is for my parent in later life class. We have learned a lot about journey to adulthood and how it has changed over the years.

I also learned that we should pick a day and show them what we do for fun and then the next time we can do what they think is fun, so we will have a better understanding about each age group. I learned that even though people can come from the same family, they can be totally different because of how they were raised and the time period that they were brought up in.
