With friends and family gathered together at this time year, it's a good time to share memories or start collecting oral histories. StoryCorps has a list of great questions to help you get these conversations started. Here are few favorites:
- What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in life?
- Are there any funny stories or memories or characters from your life that you want to tell me about?
- If this was to be our very last conversation, is there anything you’d want to say to me?
- If you could interview anyone from your life living or dead, but not a celebrity, who would it be and why?
- Do you remember any songs that you used to sing? Can you sing them now?
- How would you describe a perfect day when you were young?
- When you were young, what did you think your life would be like when you were older?
- Was there a teacher or teachers who had a particularly strong influence on your life? Tell me about them.
- What lessons has your work life taught you?
- Do you have a love of your life?
- What was the most profound spiritual moment of your life?
- What traditions have been passed down in your family?
