So personally I have met a lot of old people who are really interesting and personally I also think that the old people are really great people as they have a lot of experience to share a lot of knowledge. So I would like to describe the old person I met. It was like a Sunday as long as I remember I was sitting in a restaurant and one strange uncle approached me and I actually couldn’t recognize him but he actually recognized me. He was grandfather of my friend and he told me he has seen me a lot of times with my friend and I also like remembered him as my friend also mentioned about me. And I think by looking at him I thought he was really a good person as I think his passion sense was really good and the urban style was really good and moreover he was a really personality person and he had actually really good physique. He was really I would say buff kind of person. He told me I looked very skinny and I also agreed with him and he told me to come to the gym sometimes and just like do some exercise with him and I told him if I ever get a chance I would definitely come. Then he started talking to me and like he started like asking about my career options. I told him I have recently completed my 12th and was looking forward to move abroad for my higher studies and he told me that he had also visited Canada for the convocation of his son. Last round he told me that last I don’t actually remember. I think it was the like 2019 he told me he visited in Canada and then after he told me that he had also visited some other countries such as Switzerland and Australia and he told me that it was really good as the countries had really good environment and I also like just asking him random questions that how he felt. And then he answered all of my questions with a lot of patience and like answered all of my queries and I think that was the reason I really find him an interesting person.

So personally, I have met a lot of old people who are really interesting, and I also think that older people are great individuals as they have a lot of experience to share and a lot of knowledge. I would like to describe an old person I met. It was a Sunday, as far as I remember. I was sitting in a restaurant when a strange uncle approached me. I actually couldn't recognize him, but he recognized me. He was the grandfather of my friend, and he told me he had seen me many times with my friend. I also remembered him, as my friend had mentioned me to him. By looking at him, I thought he was really a good person; his sense of style was really good, and moreover, he had a really strong personality. He had a really good physique; I would say he was a buff kind of person. He told me I looked very skinny, and I agreed with him. He invited me to come to the gym sometimes and do some exercise with him, and I told him that if I ever got a chance, I would definitely come. Then he started talking to me and began asking about my career options. I told him I had recently completed my 12th grade and was looking forward to moving abroad for my higher studies. He told me that he had also visited Canada for the convocation of his son. I think it was in 2019 when he visited Canada. He also mentioned that he had visited some other countries, such as Switzerland and Australia, and he said it was really good because those countries had a great environment. I started asking him random questions about how he felt, and he answered all of my questions with a lot of patience, addressing all of my queries. I think that was the reason I found him to be such an interesting person.
