Our Neighborhood Assessment Project was due on Wednesday. All of us were very excited to hear about other people’s projects as well as presenting our project. This project was time-consuming mainly because of the visits, research, and preparation of the materials. However, despite the challenges that we faced when completing this project, we still managed to pull everything together because we had gained many valuable pieces of knowledge about Barrio Logan. It was surprising to know that each neighborhood would have such significantly different demographics. For example, there is 70 percent male in Barrio Logan. When we compared our statistics with the number of the general population, then we would find whether or not the number was significant. It was interesting to learn the availabilities of resources and differences among all these three places.
We were also getting ready for the Senior Prom at Gary & Mary West Senior Center. It was unfortunate that we could not get any donation from restaurants. Some local stores could not offer gift card vouchers simply because of a low amount of profit, and many managers recommended me to go to corporate level instead of reaching out to the local restaurants. The idea of the Senior Prom was adorable, and I was excited to go to the event and interact with elders in the Senior Center. This quarter was very quick and almost coming to an end. We were finished with all of our projects for this quarter, but we need to start thinking about the proposal of the Healthy Aging Project for the Spring quarter.
