For this week's class, we went to Bayside Community Center, to participate in Zumba with the seniors in the community. It was actually my first time doing Zumba, and I was a little nervous. However, my nerves quickly vanished as soon as it started. The instructor was very energetic and had dance moves that were easy to follow. I also liked the songs that we danced to, which included Pitbull - Fireball and Taylor Swift - Shake it Off. I liked how everyone was having fun and smiling. I really appreciated this time because it allowed me to take my mind off of school and other stressful things. We had one water break in between songs. The hour flew by very quickly. After Zumba, we were given the opportunity to eat snacks and talk with the elders. I went with Chloe to talk to three seniors, and I am really glad I decided to do so because I was able to learn more about them and the stories they had to share. I found out that two of the seniors had been nurses for most of their lives. As a future aspiring nurse, I enjoyed learning about their experiences in hospitals. I only wish that we had more time to talk to everyone who is part of Bayside Community because to me an hour felt too short. I was shocked that it ended so quickly. I hope for future field trips there will be more time for interactions and conversations because those are absolutely invaluable.
