Out of all four weeks of being in the
Summer Service Partnership, Wednesday and Thursday (July 11 & 12) were the
toughest days ever. As a group we hit a hug bump in terms of our ideas and the
way our projects for the community should go. The big group asked a lot of questions that our group (team Greater Grand Crossing) could not
yet answer. So Thursday my team and I went back to the drawing board to
reconstruct all of our projects. Prior to that, we attended a meeting with the
head of the Youth Center, Ms. Ayoke, who gave us a lot of resources to go to
for each one of our ideas.
One of the resources she suggested was Uplift, a
program ran by Ms. Thompson, which is basically a fitness program for seniors.
This goes hand-in-hand with the senior walk idea we had to get senior active. The Legacy program the Youth Center is
holding will also be a good resource for our Senior Check-In idea. We’re
thinking that we can use the students in this program to help us fill the slots so that students and seniors can work together one-on-one. Therefore, the
meeting our group plan together at noon was for us to basically put each
resource Ms. Ayoke suggested with one of our projects. At the end of the
day, I felt confident that our community project will go extremely well.
Love that the speed bumps can be navigated over safely, and you keep moving forward in a direction that feels right for you.
