This week in class we shared the first half of our Oral History projects. I had such a great time listening to everyone’s presentations – all of the EPs had such beautiful words and pictures to share. I think it is very interesting how despite being of very different backgrounds, many of the EPs had similar lessons for their MP. I was so heartwarmed by the stories of the EPs finding love, often in unexpected ways and places. It was also very emotional to hear how much this project impacted everyone. In addition to progressing through the Oral History presentations, we are continuing to prepare for the upcoming Love, Connect, Care Event! This past weekend, as well as in class this week, Mariyah and I discussed our ideas and planning logistics with Dr. Lewis and the TAs. I’m very happy with the progress we’ve made and how our ideas have evolved over the last couple weeks. We had a lot of fun bouncing ideas off of each other and with the arts and craft activity group. We are so excited to have the opportunity to memorialize the event, and we hope the elders have a memorable experience and love the finished product! This coming week will also be our first in-person class (also my first in-person day of school in 2022!) and I am so excited for it! I think it will be very nice to meet everyone face to face after spending the last few weeks getting to know each other on Zoom.
