Visiting the Bayside center was a little bit different this past week for our class. Although we intended to participate in Zumba with the community center just as we did last quarter, we ended up at the building located in front of the Bayside center and instead participated in “My life as Twenty.” The activity allowed us to engage with the members of the community as we heard them talk about their personal lives and experiences when they were 20. From my conversations I kept observing how exciting and nostalgic it is to reflect back to a time point in your life that seems like so long ago. One of the persons I spoke with began our conversation with apologies that she wouldn’t be able to remember much from her life when she was 20, but after breaking the ice a little bit and sharing about our personal lives, she was able to describe her experiences traveling to different locations around the world with lots of details.
I got to hear about the different experiences in traveling to Europe, Asia, and migrating into the United States. I also experienced a sense of understanding and being able to relate to one another as we both discussed the challenge with time constraint as a student. Visiting the Bayside Center was fun as we got to discuss different experiences about a person’s life at 20.
