\"917cb8d031ee2b0e12ea4f940a0abc04\"<\/a><\/u>For a long time I have wanted to create a space to share my thoughts and experiences in a professional way. I was searching for an outlet to share my successes, roadblocks and everyday adventures. However, there was always something that stood in the way. What if no one wanted to hear my opinions? What if my ideas weren\u2019t worth reading? What if I didn\u2019t have the natural writing ability? <\/em>It wasn\u2019t until Cohort 21<\/u> <\/strong>that all of those \u2018what if\u2019s\u2019 completely disappeared.<\/p>\n

It has been a few days since our first F2F session; however, the wheels have not stopped spinning! My brain is still exploding with questions, comments, moments of \u2018ah-ha\u201d and pure EXCITMENT. (#teamoverload)<\/p>\n

I am proud to say that I have become an\u00a0official member<\/em>\u00a0of Cohort 21 (Season 4).<\/strong><\/u> Before\u00a0attending the first F2F session, I was filled with\u00a0excitement\u00a0and a small level of\u00a0uncertainty. New faces, new ideas and a feeling of \u2018what if\u2019 made me feel a little uneasy and question if this PD was right for me. Within minutes of walking into BVG, all of the negative feelings disappeared and were immediately replaced with excitement and joy. There was a warm and welcoming vibe that filled the room, and for this I am grateful. My initial impression of Cohort 21<\/u><\/strong> is much grander than I had imagined. I left feeling inspired. I look forward to meeting new people, growing as an educator and gaining new knowledge and skillsets to add to my personal toolkit.<\/p>\n

I look forward to exploring Twitter, Diigo, WordPress and Google+, moreover, I am most enthusiastic about connecting with like minded individuals.<\/p>\n

I already cannot wait for our next adventure!<\/em><\/p>\n
