Today's class was the final class of the quarter. We had a potluck, and everyone brought delicious food. There was pasta, pastries, bagels, berry crumble, gnocchi, cream puffs, fruit, cookies, chips, and drinks. We debriefed on what was the most impactful part of class in the quarter and also debriefed about the Gary and Mary West senior prom event. For me, the most impactful part of the class so far was the housing project tour and the Oral History projects on our Extraordinary Persons. I have walked by Casa De Manana in the past, but never really thought too much of it. I never realized it was a senior living community until our class actually went and received a tour of the place. I'm pretty sure I've also walked by the Gary and Mary West Center before but just never noticed what the space actually was. I also really liked the Oral History projects because of the opportunity to learn about everyone's families and stories. The experience is invaluable because I don't think I could have ever learned to this extent in a class where I would have to sit in lecture and look at slides. I also learned a lot more about my mom that I didn't know before I did the project. After debriefing about the quarter, we then branched off into our individual project groups. I decided to join the group that will be hosting a Walk-a-Thon for seniors hopefully downtown or somewhere accessible. We are hoping to have it sometime in May or June.
