It seemed only a year ago that 14 of us (ranging in age from 23 to 49) started on the road to complete a Master's program. Unsure of who we would meet, how we would get along and the work load of the program were the challenges we all secretly thought about.
Right from our first meeting it was clear that we had a group that was sure to bond! When our professor (Mads) said that we would be entwined in each other's lives no one believed her. Well, I am happy to say that we have celebrated a wedding, 2 engagements and countless birthdays. We have listened to tales of family successes and challenges. Professionally, we have weathered the uncertainty of assignments and given numerous presentations in front of one another. We have laughed, laughed and laughed with one another during class and out at dinner. All the while, thinking: "Gee, Mads was right!"
Our little cohort is now facing the last 2 classes of our program. The question will become: will we stay together or go our separate ways.....I will predict that we have created a bond that will remain.
Working with one another through the learning process, our cohort is "Cutting the Mustard".
Congrats on working towards the Masters! Does it surprise you that your teach, Mads, was right???... i think it's a "teacher" thing... Don't you???? Good luck with the two last classes... i predict... the bond will remain strong.....
