For today's class we went back to Bayside, but this time we met at Thrive across the street. After the Bayside seniors finished their Zumba, we were able to have the opportunity to talk to them and listen to their experiences and stories. Victoria and I talked to Gloria, a wonderful woman who is from Guadalajara, Mexico. She shared her story of how she came to the United States, as well as shared about her family. She has three sons, who all chose different paths. One son is in the Coast Guard, another one is in business and the third one studied philosophy in college. She also enjoys knitting and crocheting, and even showed us a phone holder she had made. She mentioned that she enjoys going to Sunrise Buffet with her friend because there are so many options to choose from, and it's extremely cheap. Her favorite color is also red. We also tried conversing with her in Spanish, but my Spanish is very basic and still needs a lot of work. She also shared about her husband. Victoria and I also shared our current journeys to our future careers and a little about ourselves. We exchanged contact information with her as well as took photos with her. I really enjoyed getting to know her; she is such a sweet and kind person. Hopefully, we can get the chance to see her again sometime in the future! Per her recommendation, I plan on going to Sunrise Buffet soon and eating a meal there sometime.
