A Day in the Life of a Senior

This week, the class got the opportunity to experience some different things that seniors sometimes have to experience. Everyone got to class and were given briefs to put on, then they had to put 8 pieces of corn in each shoe, tie their knees together, wear sunglasses with vaseline rubbed on them, put cotton balls in their ears, wear gloves and a face mask and then go run two laps around the school track. These were to simulate different pains that different seniors feel due to chronic diseases or other problems. Here are some pictures of the experience:
