At 19, I thought I knew it all. Admitting I was confused, nervous and fearful didn't cross my mind, nor did confirming inabilities. Just like a vintage bottle of wine, I have greatly improved with age! Gone is the over-confidence and ridiculous sense of entitlement that defined my youth. Somewhere on the journey from bright-eyed to now, I realized learning is a process and involves small steps. When I began dating, it's certain anyone watching would have laughed themselves silly from seeing my incompetence. Luckily, with some practice, I've moved off the comedy shelves and improved enough to appear competent at best, mildly amusing at worst. I noticed a similar pattern emerge with wine. When starting to explore and serve it, the biggest, cheapest bottle with a screw-cap directed purchasing …show more content…
What is it that caught our attention? Remember the first time you tried a wine or saw a guy/gal across the bar? The tingly sensation experienced the first time I tried Riesling, is the same I got from mustering the courage to talk to the hottie I spotted across the room. The specific words to describe what caught your eye aren't important, it's all about jumping in and giving in to whatever you find yourself attracted to. Our intuition plays guide in choosing a bottle for the night or which direction to swipe on dating sights. The likelihood of meeting online, at a party, bar, or in school is high. With both wine and dating, the opportunity for introductions come from in-person moments, where engaging with new people open up a world of possibilities. Through the restaurant industry, products that I love, but never would have discovered alone at home, have been introduced to me. It builds a foundation for next time by exploring our preferences; red, white, bubbles or tall, short, out-going. It's all about playing around, sampling what's available and trusting your

“If youth but had the knowledge and old age the strength,” (Proverb). Remember sitting on the porch swing with grandpa and listening to him rant and rave about what seemed utterly irrelevant? What about the time that you got backhanded for rolling your eyes at crazy Mrs. Roberts when she would preach ‘life lessons’ at you? However, with age, it has become more and more apparent that maybe Mrs. Roberts wasn’t that far off from what is really the problems most fail to see.
Younger people have tended to look towards the elderly for wisdom and guidance since the beginning of recorded history and beyond. Students to teachers, children to parents, ordinary people to royalty and politicians – generally those who have lived longer are not only believed, but expected to have garnered more knowledge in their longer lives. Abraham Lincoln once said, “I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. Also, in 2008 the Australian newspaper published an article detailing a study undertaken by the University of Aarhus in Denmark, which disproved the theory that the mind is at its peak in the late teens to mid-twenties. But all this is not to say that older people should not sometimes listen to and heed advice from younger people.

I have started to feel that my world and my preparation for the world have also improved ever since I have taken this class. Taking this class has taught me different techniques to consider when dealing with aging. This topic was of great interest to me. I was surprised to learn that successful aging is a combination of physical and functional health, high cognitive functioning, and active involvement with society. It was interesting to learn that these factors could lead to a lower risk of disease and disability. As

I’ve just found out some wonderful news. My good friend, Mr.Montresor, is in town, and he is going to my carnival to see me perform in my jester’s show! Mr.Montresor has always been a great friend of mine, and he is almost as enthusiastic about wine as I am. For years I have been a proud wine taster, and I would consider myself the most educated wine aficionado in all of the land.
At some point in our lives where we are searching for that special someone. The methods of going about dating have changed quite dramatically over the years. Going out has grown from traditional dating, to internet 'dating', to group dating.
When I think along the line of what I have learned in the educational world there is just one word that comes to mind “WOW!” To think back and realize that my skills in communication, team work, problem solving began in primary school and are still continually developing today.
