Recommended: + importance of family as adults

My respondent was my best friend’s father, Andre Cukovic and he is 60 years old. He was born in the communist country of Yugoslavia (present day Albania) in 1949.

Physically in his 20’s, Andre was a perfectly fit, muscular young man and was in great shape. He had a sort of “model type” body and long curly hair. During his 30’s, he was still a well built man. He cut his long curly hair and did some modeling in Australia. When Andre reaches his 40’s, he claimed that he still felt like he was 20. He was very active and always up and about. At about the age of 50, Andre described himself as no longer as strong as he was when he was young but was still capable of working and still had a strong immune system.

Socially throughout the age of his 20’s, Andre explained that he had lots of friends and he was a very outgoing person. He stated that he met tourists from all over the world. In his 30’s, Andre traveled from Europe to Australia and he was still very popular for his personality. In his 40’s, he moved to the U.S. and started his own company of painting and decorating and eventually...

  • Michael Moffatt's Coming Of Age In New Jersey

    557 Words  | 2 Pages

    I found the article, "Coming of Age in New Jersey" to be extremely interesting. It was fascinating to read about how college life differed from the time that Michael Moffatt was an undergraduate, but there were also some aspects of college that had remained the same. As I was reading, I found the section titled, "What College is REALLY Like" to be particularly interesting. In the essay, Moffatt talks about how college was a mix between academics and experiencing "college life". It was interesting because in doing this experiment, he was able to gain a dual perspective on college. He had a professor's point of view and also the point of view of the students.

    Criss. Due to him passing away in 2010 I gathered health information from my father. W.C. was obese most of his adult life, and at age 45 was diagnosed with type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and macular degeneration. He died later due to neglect in a nursing home after experiencing a stroke. The next family member I focused on was my father. My father became overweight at age 35 and was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease at age 51. He was also later diagnosed with obesity and in 2015 diagnosed with IgG4 related disease. This leads to the current youngest generation B. Criss.

  • Van Gogh failure

    1409 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although an artist should be able to be at peace with his/her surroundings, van Gogh could never blend in with society nor could he get along with other artists. As a young man, his peers did not accept Vincent: “in the class of Mr. Bokma he certainly was the most advanced, but he does not feel at home at the school, he is ‘like a fish out of water’ he says, and is ridiculed for is peculiarities in dress and manners.” (48). Van Gogh was uncomfortable in his surroundings at Brussel, a school for teaching religion, and was mocked by his classmates because his attire was disagreeable to their taste. As he matured as a man, he still was unable to get along with other people: “Acquaintances, and relatives are shocked to see him walk about with such a slovenly woman; nobody cares to associate with him any longer and his home life is such that nobody come to visit him.” (56) Many people disagreed or disliked the fact that he was involved with a woman, who was “such a slovenly woman”, and so they never cared to visit Vincent anymore or have any association with him any longer. Even as an artist, van Gogh could not even get along with other artists let alone society as a whole: “ Vincent and I simply cannot live together in peace, in consequence of incompatibility of temper, and he as well as I, we need quiet for our work.”(73). This quote was from a letter from G...
