I have been hyping it for weeks, and yesterday, the launch party finally took place! It was a great afternoon, and if you weren’t there, you really did miss out (but if you are a senior or a teen, you can still come to the classes starting on July 13th.) The launch party was wonderful–a great array […]
I’ve been counting down to this day for weeks, and now it is less than 24 hours away! This will be a great beginning to a great project; you won’t want to miss this event! It will be a day to remember. Bring your friends, and tell your friends to bring their friends! And, hey, […]
I am sure that if you are reading this blog, you already know about our launch party coming up in 6 days! Brendan, an Our Best Day So Far co-leader, prepared this video for Wednesday’s event. The video is just a preview of what will be an awesome launch party and some great classes that will follow. […]

Last week I briefly introduced you to the people behind the project, and this week I would like to spotlight the co-leaders for the Our Best Day So Far class over the summer. So, I asked Amy Henson and Brendan O’Hara some questions!

Mother’s Day is approaching and, in honor of this holiday, I asked my mom how and why she became involved with, and even made it her job to help senior citizens. This is what she told me:
Today at my high school, I asked several sophomores about their thoughts on seniors and why they felt this way. What I noticed is that when I asked why, most of them did not have a reason and replied, “I don’t know.” My question was “what is your perception of seniors?”, but it quickly evolved to […]
In my last post, I wrote about the long and short term challenges that arise. Now I have come to evaluate these challenges, and what seemed like such daunting tasks in the past are in fact just small bumps in the road. Yesterday I had my first surgery. For months beforehand I would stress out about the […]
