60=1

Hours removed from the Peer Mentor Retreat, I can already tell what a special group of people this is going to be. I knew no more than ten of these people a month ago, and now I feel as though I have connected with or to each and every one of them. It is empowering to experience firsthand the enthusiasm that we all share and contribute, as well as the understanding that we are all striving towards a common goal. It is going to be something else to be on this kind of team, where 60-plus people offer 60-plus different perspectives and roles as a cohesive unit. I feel as though I need to get all of these thoughts down before I forget them, because then they lose their transcendence over day-to-day life.
