These past 3 weeks felt like they went by very quickly due to other classes and projects. In the first week or two, our group (LCS Memories) worked on ironing out our timeline and interview questions that we would ask our senior interviewees. Our group is working on creating a video with around 18 senior participants that show their life stories and memories through three different themes. Our three themes consist of the past, present, and future. The past will be about what they were like when they were young. The present, where we ask them how their lifestyles have changed as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the present, which will focus on asking the interviewees what they want to do post-quarantine. Some challenges that my team and I are facing is participation since some of the communities around San Diego have not gotten back or we are currently waiting for responses for participation. This week, I have reached out to some senior communities around my area, San Francisco. If I do not get any responses or updates by next week’s meeting, I will ask the LCS cohort if any of their EPs are interested in participating. Something that I am looking forward to is the Virtual World Cafe that we will be hosting on May 5th. The concept of it sounds really nice :D. Something else that I have enjoyed is reading the new book for this class Happiness Is A Choice You Make by John Leland. The book follows John’s journey of interacting with the aging population and the concepts that are brought up throughout the chapters really makes me ponder over those things. A good read that I recommend!
