Eileens most memorable song is "With or Without you" by U2. This is because she met her husband while singing to this song. She told me she feels like it was straight out of a movie when she met him. They were at a small local bar with friends and he introduced himself to her while this song played. This was the song at their wedding and I always love when Eileen tells me this story because it makes me so happy. She said that if she's ever having a bad day she plays this song and thinks back on her memories with her husband.

Eileen said her views on society are poor because as she has gotten older people have pulled away from who they truly are and gotten so lost which makes her sad. She means how people get consumed in the pursuit of money and power and they aren't true to their core. It seems that society only cares about materialism. So many people have anxiety and depression way more than its every been before and she wishes it could be different.

An impactful news article was about covid. Eileen talked about the impact it had was the controversy. Covid got so many people sick and afraid to live. Now there are vaccines and it has been proven how it was taken way over the top and terrified society. It didn't turn out to be as bad of a virus as it was portrayed.

Eileen said the wisdom she learned over time was that it is so easy to get down on yourself. There are moments in life where you allow others people to make you feel lousy or believe you are worthless. She said that the most impactful thing she has learned is that she is true to herself and chooses to be in service of others and kind to others which has made her so happy. There have been many hard days that she is grateful for because in those moments she realizes how blessed she is during dark times.

Eileen has taught me many things throughout my life. She has been my moms best friend since I was a baby. My mom travels a lot for work so Eileen has always been a second mom to me. During the interview the advice Eileen gave me was to not let what other people say affect me. She said that it will make me "age faster." I laughed at this because in one of the articles I had to read for this class they talked about having a positive mindset will give you a longer life. This is basically was Eileen told me because she said she has been so much happier since she decided to not let what others say affect her at all.

One of me and Eileen's happiest memories was when her and my mom took me to my first spa day when I turned sixteen. I used to always feel so left out because I wasn't allowed in certain spots in the spa whenever I was younger and on a trip with them. She was so excited and had the day planned out for me for so long. Eileen told me it made her so happy to see me growing up to be a woman. Eileen bought me a whole spa day as my gift and we got massages and facials together. We went in the sauna and hot tubs and had a blast. We loved this day so much!

A great memory I have with Eileen is when we went to an amusement park in California. We went to knots berry farm because she was watching me the weekend my mom was out of town. I begged her to come on a huge crazy rollercoaster with me and right when we got off she laid on a lunch table for 3 hours with an ice pack on her head. We look back at this and laugh because of course she couldn't move all day after only one ride!!
