Persoanl Thought.....

Personally, I see more the positive side of interdisciplinary research and group collaboration. I try to view and relate this work and experiences as a social interaction. Don't get me wrong I have been in group projects where it went all wrong, but in the end, it is still a living experience. As a sociologist may comment, we have to learn to work and live together in one world. This experience so far has been a positive experience. Of course as SPI participants and writing group members we all have a commitment to the program, but as well, we have a chance to meet and learn from a group of smart and intelligent group of scholars. We all bring something different to this city and university, lets make the best of it. In reality, at times we are not always going to agree and enjoy what we need to do, but I try to see the positives side of life and the events I have the privilege to participate in. I cannot wait to see what is to still come of this experience in Illinois.
