For our class, this week we started with a debrief of our HAP’s. Everybody seemed to have enjoy themselves on Friday. Everybody had great stories of the elders they talked to and how so many were saying how happy they were. This week we also presented our NAP’s which was our age friendly community assignment. This project was definitely very informative. I hadn’t had a lot of time to explore San Diego and the different communities since moving here. But through this project I got to see a little more on the strengths and weaknesses of each community. We had three groups who assessed La Jolla, Barrio Logan, and Golden Hill. The group I was in did Golden Hill. Getting the chance to explore Golden Hill was very interesting. We saw many positives of the community such as transit and the architecture that is preserved by the community. The other projects were interesting as well. I learned that there are many elders in La Jolla but sometimes it hard to realize it because it could be a tourist area. There are also many retirements hope in La Jolla for example like Casa de Mañana. I found that the average rent is actually pretty high compared to other cities around. I really enjoyed learning about the culture of Barrio Logan and the community itself. We also discussed what we needed or had ready for our HAP at the Gary and Mary west center. Seems like everybody is looking forward to our HAP this weekend.
