"I have learned about the dynamic changes in the longevity of people today.  This impacts many areas of our society.  Many service areas will be impacted with the growing older population.  I have learned to appreciate that intergenerational relationships are an important part of successful aging. There are many reciprocal benefits to these relationships.  Mentors have been proven to have a large impact on young individuals’ choices.  Mentors are people with experience; Older Adults are full of life experience and ought to be looked to for these roles".
