Reflections on our Duke Engage group: Every member of our Engage group contributed to the dynamic of our three hour dinner escapades. I appreciate that because our differences, we could always have compelling conversations (turf, fish teeth, smells of different races, etc.). I had a thoughtful conversation with every member of the group. At times, I grew frustrated with members of the group (some of the girls) because I felt trapped by their idealism, lack of pragmatism, and laziness. However, I will maintain good relations with everyone. Next year, I might become friends with Matt and most definitely Kevin.
