All of us are simultaneously members of several groups. Each you posting here is part of the PEAI group. We have shared similar experiences in the classroom such as the monthly Missions or hearing each other's PechaKuchas. We also share common practices such as the democracy wave or knocking on the door before entering.
In addition, you are part of several other unrelated groups; It might be a swim team group, or an orchestra group, or a Lego group, a Yu-Gi-Oh group, an art group, a religious group, or a group of nerds like Gabe. These groups define who we are and have tremendous influence over the way we view ourselves.
