“What did you learn about yourself from this circle talk?”

I found that through the circle talk, I was able to realize how resilient my family is. When talking about an elder, I immediately thought of my Lola (Grandma). My grandma has offered so much for my family and continues to do so at the age of 93. Throughout my childhood, she has cared for me and my brother. Even though she is quite old, she never lives it. She is still dancing and singing every chance she has. I am so lucky to have someone in my life who cares as much as she does. The circle talk has allowed me to see how fortunate I am. I also realized that my friends and family had shaped me into who I am. I feel that I have become more aware and thankful for everyone and everything that I have.
