I'm just going to merge two blog posts together as my farewell. This class and cohort has been my favorite so far during my ENTIRE UCSD career. I'm so honored to be a part of this cohort and able to learn from both Professor Bussell and Lewis and my amazing classmates. My favorite parts of the year were first few trips in the beginning of the class (last quarter). I remember I didn't know what to expect and didn't know I'd learn so much about San Diego and the experiences of the elderly in our community. From the way they live, cultural backgrounds, and barriers, we as a society need to really work to help the elderly. There are several ways such as stopping ageism and actually stopping to reflect on how ageist our society is. I never really thought about it before. I also really love how humanized this course was. I wasn't just taking notes. It was communicating, telling stories, by touching peoples hearts and minds. It was applying our work and unifying college students and elderly with intergenerational projects. Lastly, I truly love my HAP group. LOVED the project and the people. My favorite part was talking to multiple elders I've met multiple times before. I've made friends from this class (young AND old). Thank you for an amazing year (kinda? 2 quarters?) <3
