The role of a peer is, needless to say, huge in everyone’s life. People usually spend a lot of time with peers in school, church, and an academy. That is why peers know one another very well and become a big comfort when they get together. However, when it comes to learning, the older have more knowledge, experience, and good characteristics than peers. I strongly believe people attain more from the older because they have more life experiences as well as academic knowledge.
To begin with, since the older have lived longer than me, they have got problems in their lives as I did and overcome the problems. Some of the older may not studied as much as I did, but they experienced the world longer and lived out very well. Their life experiences give me a lot of lessons that my peers can never offer me. From my personal experience, when I was 18 years old, I was very sensitive of everything and did not want to live my life. When I got lost in my life, my father played an important role for me. Even though he only graduated from the middle school and studied less than me, his life advice and counseling comforted and encouraged my disrupted mind. Since then, I consider my father as the most venerable figure in my life.
Next, there are tens of thousands of adults who studied a lot comparing to my peers. They are my school teachers, pastors, and some scholars who wrote the text books. I listen to their lectures and sermons, and read their books. I learn more knowledge from those older than my peers. This is applying not only to me, but also to many other prominent figures. The famous scientist, Einstein, had a teacher when he was a student and could be the great figure due to the teachers’ instruction. The ex-president of U.S.A., Abraham Lincoln, also had teachers when he was a student. As the great figures show, the older can give me more academic knowledge that my peers can never give me.
To sum up, because the older have lived and studied longer then me and my peers, they have more things to give me than my peers. Whenever I am in trouble, the older give me strength from their broad experience, and whoever I want to be in future, the older teach me what to do. Without them, I am a just little child.
