Last Thursday was my first session of community service for my "group" project. Since my schedule as a student pursuing a double-major is so busy, I was only left with one option: Grandma's House. (Because of this, my project will also be individual, not a group project.) I couldn't help but feel very excited to be presented with the perfect opportunity to work with assisted living residents, a group of people which I have experience working with from elementary school, middle school, and high school.
Getting to spend time with such a mature, intelligent group of people, who have experienced so much and truly have so many stories and bits of advice to share, was a privilege. Everyone at Friendship Village was so open to me coming and joining their community of friends. I met many people who have been in leadership roles before and that are in leadership roles in their community, which was fascinating as someone studying leadership.
I am so glad that I've had the opportunity to build relationships with such a kind, open group of people. I look forward to visiting Friendship Village again and continuing to develop a presence in the residents' community.
