Male Female

Sadly, I never had the opportunity to learn something valuable from a wise elderly individual. You see, by the time I was born, my grandfather had already passed away. Conversely, my grandmother was too old, and her health prevented her from making a significant impression on me. I have heard stories about my grandfather, which gave me the impression that he was a respected community leader and one of the most skilled fishermen in our area. I would have loved to learn from him, especially about the sea and how to navigate it when the ocean turns cold. Unfortunately, he passed away before I was born, so I wasn't even able to see him. I hope in the future I can encounter someone with the knowledge and experience that I lack, someone who can share their wisdom and help me deal with life when it turns cold.
