HEAL-O: Heal-O #7: One term done! That was quick...!

Note: I had meant to post this in December but I guess my holiday brain took over…here it is anyway!

[December 2013]

Wow what a term! It went by so quickly! In the very first class in September 2013, I remember walking into the classroom and sitting down and thinking…what am I doing here? Then, we sat in a chairs in the form of a circle and did an introduction activity, partnered up with someone to learn more about them, and introduced our partners as a way to get to know each other. When we all explained the reason why we are in this program, I felt a mixed sense of relief, understanding, curiosity, excitement, apprehension, and happiness (can someone really feel all these emotions at once?!) that I made the right choice in applying for this program.

Then…the term just flew by with lengthy, exciting, and engagement discussions; thought-provoking questions that sticks to you for a while; such wonderful presentations by our cohort peers; a visit to a horse show; the lunch time walks to the food court; the lovely transit ride home where we continued our discussions; the brilliant sock poi, hoola hoops, and all the surprising but fascinating activities Stephen had for us in that secret little gym bag; and the friendships and bonds that we created over the course of the term.

It ended with an amazing potluck that proved that the MEd HEAL students in this course are not only inspiring individuals but wonderful sharers of food and recipes! Thank you for a wonderful start to this journey; I could not have asked for a better group to be with. See you all in a month!!

Check out the food!
