!

I am so blessed to be surrounded by all of you amazing people and having an instructor like Zalika. I know we're her favorites! ;) I feel like I have learned to be more patient with myself over these last few weeks. Having a child has helped too but I must say I am really impressed with everyone, really every single person in our cohort. I think we were grouped together for some special reason!! I haven't felt very supported in the professional field, and sure some of that is me (I am still acclimating to middle class culture) but a lot of the patience I am feeling is because I think of you, yes you, and I realize that we are all doing the best we can with what we have, where we are at now. I skated out a little fast for fear of crying in front of everyone. Tears of joy. I am excited about the fall and getting back to our group. I am sure the next two weeks will be a grand adventure but somehow, I think we would have had more fun if we had stuck together as a cohort! Anywho! Thank you all for all that you are. I am learning so much from everyone. Ditto to Zalika, see what a difference one person can make?
