This class was a reflective and somewhat stressful period for me. We had to choose our NAP groups as well as our HAP groups. I felt a little stressed because we were being assigned a plethora of projects and I felt a little panicked because I thought that I wasn’t going to be able to finish them all. Now I understand why this is a 6 unit class!
Aside from this conundrum, me, Katrina and Elizabeth presented on a current event debating whether senior citizens should still have the privilege of driving in their later years. Personally, I think it depends, because not all seniors have the same thinking and physical capabilities. There should be an unbiased, comprehensive test that examines the mental capacities of seniors. Even though young males are more likely to cause accidents than that of senior citizens, policies like this should be implemented as a precaution for the senior drivers and for everyone else on the road.
After the current event presentation, we were able to choose our NAP groups. We collectively brainstormed on potential places to visit for our projects. Me, Andrew, Grace, Katrina, Sabrina, Tan and Maria all decided to work together and selected Hillcrest, a predominantly young (and LGBTQ+) neighborhood, as our destination. We were able to make an initial site visit and we were able to identify an autism center for seniors. We were able to speak with one of the managers at the center and we were provided with more context regarding senior care in the Hillcrest area.
