In class this week, it was nice to catch up with each other and go over our schedule for the rest of the quarter. First, we debriefed our experiences at the West Center. It was cool to hear about the others experiences with their senior. The one I found most interesting was the woman Tan talked to about going on the bus every day from Chula Vista to the West Center. She lives with her daughter, but she doesn’t know that she goes because she would feel like a burden asking her daughter to give her rides. It made me a little sad to think that seniors feel like a burden to their children when they’ve done so much for them. However, I thought it was awesome how she was so determined to find a way to explore San Diego on her own. I would be concerned about my safety if I was her. We also gathered in our HAP groups and went over our progress. I am excited for my HAP because everything seems like it is all coming together. We decided to make a google form link to make it easier for the seniors to RSVP and a Facebook event to advertise our event easier. I was able to share the event with my friends and some of them said they were interested in coming. Additionally, a group of 10 seniors from a walking group has said that they were coming. Jayson was able to map out a route that is 1.5 miles in Balboa Park that went through nice areas of the park. The only thing that was tricky to figure out was rest stops and an area for our post-walk picnic. On the other hand, we have sent in our orders to the professors so we can have our materials ready for the walk. I hope we have a good turn out because we have been working hard to bring this event together!
