I'm really glad that I love the people in my Master's of Development Practice (MDP) cohort.  Because, honestly, it was a tough act for them to follow after my Peace Corps friends.  In the last five years of my life, I've been on a trajectory of meeting more and more amazing people.  I hope it keeps going.

A number of us have the requisite awkward smiling face appropriate when you take a picture with people you don't know well yet.
