For class on Wednesday, we debriefed each of the HAP’s and had our class potluck. There was so much food! And I had another class potluck afterwards so I was so full by the end of the day. I really liked the Filipino desert that Chloe brought. I enjoyed hearing about everyone’s HAP’s while we ate and was glad that we all had great turnouts. It was a bittersweet class since it was the last one. On Thursday, I went to the Healthy Aging Symposium during lunch time. I wish I had been able to stay longer to sit in on one of the sessions. I did, however, get to talk to some attendees who stopped by our exhibit. At first, no one was there because it was lunch time, but afterwards it was crowded with people. They loved how our HAP posters came out and also the posters from the oral history HAP. Many were curious about who we were, what our posters were about, and what the debunking ageism assignment was since they were displayed at our table. Some even tried to take the print outs home! Each one really appreciated us debunking ageist myths and would say things like “Finally!” or “Thank you!”. Telling people about the LCS program really reinforced all the things that we have learned over the past two quarters. I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much from this class as well as met amazing people along the way. I will truly miss our cohort!
