Welcome 2020 Cohort! We are now in the sixth week of our 52 week odyssey together. Up until this entry, we have been a community that shares a physical space for six hours a week. Now, our community will expand to a virtual space. Let us work together to build a welcoming, safe environment where we can all express ourselves freely and celebrate diversity of thought.

Every week a new journal entry will be posted on Thursday evening. The Journal task is part of the day one homework assignment for the next week. At the end of each entry, there will be a series of questions or prompts that should be addressed. All responses should be a minimum of 100 words, but I encourage you to write more!

For the first journal entry of the Year of the Rat, we will start with the basics. To complete this Journal response, address the following:

  1. Write an introduction of yourself to your PEAI peers. Start to build your online identity!

    • Leave your real name with your comment.

    • You may login as a guest OR via Squarespace, Google, Facebook, or Twitter which will let your avatar appear.

  2. Comment on a peer's response.

    • e.g., Hey Zoe! It's [removed]. I did not know that you can play that many sports! And I really didn't know that you can play many instruments! Also I totally get your fear, because speaking in front of people is really hard, and I didn't overcome it yet. But I think you can!!
