This October, Brenda Dorador is celebrating one year of being a Senior Planet trainer in San Antonio, Texas! Brenda has an impressive background in education and curriculum development, including a PhD and Masters degree in adult education.What are some of your favorite parts of being a trainer?
Ive been having a great time! I enjoy the audience, of course.Senior Planet participants are very open and eager to learn, which is sometimes hard to find in other ages, depending on where youre teaching.And graduations are always happy moments.I feel theres a lot of value thats gained from the students having the consistency of weekly classes.
So getting to see all the graduates go through a whole program and then watch them walk to get their certificates its very special.What are your passions outside of work?
I like to give back to the community.I do a lot of refereeing for the YMCA and local community events like that.And I love to travel.
Im going to do a New Years cruise to the Bahamas this year.Something different!What does aging with attitude mean to you?
I get a lot of thumbs up and a lot of likes when I wear the Aging with Attitude shirt.I think it provides a sense of empowerment and confidence.
And not being scared offacing challenges head on.Pam Hugi is Senior Planets Community and Advocacy Manager.Based in Brooklyn, she is a contributing writer for this site.
