"The biggest thing for me that I've learned about aging is that we underestimate older adults all the time. My idea of what it means to be 70, 80, 90, even 100 has continually and repetitively just been shattered through the people I've met over the years TV, movies, social media, the news, whatever is out there that has shaped mine and your perception of getting older is just wrong."
