The event itself was short, but very worth the effort as the elders who came to participate were happy to change up their daily routines to enjoy a few hours of dancing, games, and food. Upon arrival at the Serving Seniors Center, I was astonished at how fast decorations had started to come together. The preparation process was efficient, so it made it easy to start the event on time, as the venue had a strict time schedule for the event. I immediately started to figure out how to work the music because I was the MC for the event, and I connected with Tanveer as she was in charge of the music selections. MC'ing the event was a lot of fun, as some of my biggest passions are speaking in front of large groups, rapping, and motivational speaking. The crowd seemed to show some energy, and it was my job to push the energy levels higher. Some challenges of being the MC were when there were cold streaks during the raffle, but the most important thing is to keep going and really emphasize the positivity when somebody did win. Meeting so many different people throughout the event was definitely a highlight, and bringing my brother along to experience the event was exciting. It was a great way to start of year 21!
