Thanks for the exercise!

I was amazed yesterday in class how emotional I got writing my poem. As someone who actively doesn’t do a lot of deep self reflection it brought a lot of stuff to the surface and was surprised to find myself tearing up. It got especially hard when I started writing about my grandma and grandpa who were like second parents to me and both of whom I recently lost. So, I would like to thank everyone who shared, as I know how difficult it was for me. I would also like to thank the whole cohort for creating a community where I felt safe opening up like that. It was an especially interesting exercise to realize as Julia stated how different we all are. Well, that’s all I have to say. For those of you going to HP have a wonderful time I will be with you in spirit (as I’m sleeping!).
