This week was a very busy week for me. I’ll cover the intergenerational lunch, which in my opinion, was an amazing idea. I met fellow LGBT seniors in the community. I met some like Bob who enjoy country, Richard who was a teacher and overlooks frats at UCSD/SDSU, and Steven that represents multiple communities. One talking point I loved was when Bob told me the only way to defeat stigma and create intergenerational spaces is to learn to love one another. If we do not learn to love then we cannot respect one another’s points of view. Overall, this event was amazing BUT I do wish it was done last quarter or earlier on in the quarter. One, it was kind of intimidating to be alone and talking to around 5 seniors at once. So it was difficult to ask all the questions and get everyone to answer. Second, it would have been better if more students were able to make it. Only half the class came due to midterms, class, and HAP projects. Maybe we can do a Intergenerational Breakfast for next time? NOW my group’s HAP project actually was a great success. We went to Bayside on Friday and had an amazing turn out. Many of the Seniors told us they wished there were more events like Succulent making with Students. Shivani and I thought that maybe for next year, we can have more hands on workshops when visiting centers instead of just having talking sessions. We can make plants/art AND talk at the same time.
