On Wednesday May 22nd, the class met for the second to last time. It’s insane to think about how fast the quarter has gone by. It seems like everything just started off full speed this quarter. It’s been extremely stressful. Personally, I have just a lot on my plate and a lot to catch up on still (including my blogs :/ ), but I was happy to finally be able to execute my group’s HAP on Saturday. We all thought we had so much time, but May 25th came very quickly. The event on Saturday is much different from what we initially intended for it to be. We wanted to be able to provide haircut and massage services, but things did not fall into place as we hoped. However, we were able to maintain the overall theme of self-care and relaxation. Our event shifted into a more casual, DIY self care day with a clothing and jewelry giveaway. It turned out great. There were a few kinks throughout the morning, but I still think our backup plans fell together pretty well. I was able to take a lot of photos (attached is my favorite), talk to seniors, and overhear a lot of things being said about our event. It seemed like everyone enjoyed it and was really appreciative. Among other things, I heard that a man who only had one pair of pants be able to get another pair and a woman whose backpack was broken was able to get another. The donations from Casa de Manana were extremely important and my group will definitely have to figure out a way to properly thank them. Overall, I’m extremely happy it all worked out in the end. This HAP was definitely a big source of stress and to see that it ended up working out gives me a little (not much) confidence for the next few weeks of my life.
