For my health class (it’s not the most academically rigorous class but I need it for a GE requirement) I need to interview a senior citizen, defined as over age 65. I don’t really know any so I figure I can do it here since I know there are a few Dopers in that age bracket.
The questions are as follows:
What is your age?
Do you have any children or grandchildren?
Are you married/single/divorced/widowed?
Do you have any medical conditions for which you are taking medication?
What is your fondest memory?
Do you have any regrets?
And that’s all there is to it. Anyone who can participate, I appreciate your responses!
