Last week, I had my oral history presentation in class. My extraordinary person (EP) was my grandmother. I truly enjoyed doing this project because I learned a lot about my grandmother. There were so many things I didn’t know about her even though I have lived with her all my life. I loved knowing more about her childhood and her fondest memories. My grandmother was really enthusiastic and she really wanted me to understand her life. Overall, the project was really rewarding both for me and my grandmother because we connected a lot and learnt from each other. Several other students presented their projects and I really enjoyed learning about their EPs. Everyone found this project to be very fulfilling.
We also had current event presentations and book presentations that day. The discussions we had from those presentations were really good. We also have a lot of assignments coming up. Next week, my group will be presenting the book This Chair Rocks in class. I am in another group which is in charge of planning for the dance at Casa De Mañana which is on February 26. I hope it goes well and the seniors enjoy our company and the event overall.
We also talked about our Neighborhood Assessment Projects NAPs. My group will be be visiting Little Italy this weekend and I am really looking to assessing the area. I always go there for the food but never looked at the area from an age-friendly and planning perspective. I look forward to doing so. Lastly, we talked about our individual Healthy Aging Projects (HAPS). I am keen on doing something related to gardening and/or community art. There are several other students interested in these activities so I am quite looking forward to doing our HAPS next quarter.
