Although I was not able to attend the LEG event the day of May 15th, I did hear many great experiences from my peers. Many of them discussed about their different experiences when comparing this LEG to other LEG events. I think the large difference between my peers’ experience is due to this LEG having many attendees from the LGBT Community Center which resulted in this LEG experience being more of an opportunity for my peers to learn about various different backgrounds and experiences all at once.
After participating in previous LEG events and after this reflection with my peers, I learned how important it is to take the time to have intergenerational conversations. This either being with individuals you know or with strangers that are willing to open up to you. Through having intergenerational conversations, we are able to learn so much about the journey of life, other individuals, and ourselves. These conversations bring up so many important topics that we often tend to disregard in our busy lives. For instance, many times we end our LEG events, I am reminded of the importance behind living in the moment and cherishing what life has brought us thus far. Another important reminder I got from these intergenerational conversations was to not be afraid to be adventurous and to step outside of your comfort zone. Following this idea can bring you to so many different life experiences that you’ll keep stored in your memory.
