Introduction of the Older Adult
Mr. White is a 72-year-old man soon about to turn 73 after 3 months and I had the privilege of interviewing him. The goal behind interviewing Mr. White was to gain an insight regarding aging and the ways to deal with things when one is an older adult. I interviewed Mr. White at a café, since he is my neighbor and lives only 3 blocks away therefore, he agreed to meet me at this café. He was really happy and showed appreciation that he was being a part of an interview.
Mr. White is a great man; he was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has been the only child of his parents. His mother passed away when he was 17 because she was suffering from breast cancer and since then his father had taken care of him who was a well-owned and rich man. Mr. White was an average kid at his school and academics.
However, he was exceptionally good at mind games and his favorite subject was and still is chemistry. According to him, he wanted to pursue masters in chemistry and grab a Ph.D. Mr. White could not pursue his academics after college because his father had a severe stroke when he was only 22 so he had to drop his studies and look after for the business. 
Mr. White fell in love with a girl when he was 23 and soon after a 1.5 years’ relationship with her, both of them got married. When Mr. White was 25 years, his father passed away due to another severe heart attack, leaving Mr. White all his business and money. After 2 years of his father’s death, Mr. White and his wife had a little girl, which they named Holly. 
Mr. White is running his father’s business since he was 22 years old and has built a massive empire since then. He has been on the magazines and in the top 10 richest man in Mexico. According to him never giving up and rising up stronger after failure are the 2 ladders that has given him this success.
