I rarely found myself searching for a new question to ask because our conversations flowed. It was fun for us to talk about things that interested us like books and movies because we could see the similarities and differences in our taste whether it be because of our different cultures or different ages.
[My partner] has definitely taught me that age doesn't mean you have to slow down. You can be constantly learning, being involved with organizations you are interested in, and travel the world. It was great reconnecting with [my partner] as she has been my partner in the past, and we were able to catch up on what has been going on in each others lives since we last spoke.
These conversations have always been a great opportunity to slow down and connect with others who have a different life than yourself and realize that the world might be large but there is so much to learn and opportunity to interact with others that it makes the world feel a bit smaller.
I learned that in the future if I want to do something like be an active member of society or even just do sports I can. There's not much stopping me other than my mindset.
Not only was I able to form a friendship with my partner throughout our
two conversations, but this project also greatly developed my German-speaking abilities.
This opportunity has allowed me to not only get to know someone new with a different background, but also really work on my German with a native German speaker and work on my conversational German. I hope to keep my relationship up with [my partner] into the future.
