This Week’s Reader Poll: In response to the February 19th reader poll on your favorite subject in school, one thing quickly became clear: agebuzz readers are an intellectually curious and diverse bunch! Responses ranged over a broad array of subjects and passions. While ¼ of respondents declared literature as their favorite subject (and so many of you traced that interest to your current reading habits!), history was a close second, and many described their love of history as continuing into the present. But many of you also declared your enthusiasm for a broad array of other aspects of school, including band, art, physical education, and music. There seems to be a traceable line between what many of you enjoyed studying and what you took up professionally (for example, math lovers becoming accountants or taking charge of family finances), or what you’ve been able to pursue as a source of passion in your later years (such as taking up painting again after years of not having time to commit to it). Several of you cited your affection for a favorite teacher as the reason you have such positive memories of a particular subject. What’s perhaps most evident from your responses is that so many of you have remained engaged and connected to those early interests you developed: something that’s not only a source of pleasure but also a mentally stimulating activity that’s good for your brain!

“It annoys me when people say, ‘Even if you’re old, you can be young at heart!’ Hiding inside this well-meaning phrase is a deep cultural assumption that old is bad and young is good. What’s wrong with being old at heart, I’d like to know? Wouldn’t you like to be loved by people whose hearts have practiced loving for a long time?”
