“I think the king is but a man, as I am: the violet smells to him as it doth to me.” — William Shakespeare

The future reveals our similarities.

We bring preconceived notions to new situations with others, but what do we know? Time reveals backgrounds, experiences, and personalities.

An online cohort brings hundreds of learners from different countries together with one common interest: writing.

Being part of a learning community starts with the unknown and slowly moves to the known.

Reading their essays, I discover:

  • A shared desire to learn
  • Common experiences
  • Similar interests

I see myself reflected in others’ essays.

Small group meetings reveal we are more alike than we thought. Our common interest in writing facilitates learning about each other.

We walk away, knowing we are not alone in our journeys.
