The healthy aging class lectures, weekly discussion posts, and elderly project videos helped me to engage more in learning. To be honest, I have never thought about the struggles of being an elderly and I did not know much about the elderly because I have never lived with elderly over age 65. However, being in this healthy aging class helped me to understand the struggles of being elderly and it also gave me some idea how to deal with elderly. As this class focus on issues that related to aging, I also have learned how to enhance elders’ well-being physically, socially, and mentally.
As for being a public health student, learning about aging and elderly will definitely help me to cope well with elderly population in my future career field.
