Time Well Spent...

This last course on my way to my Master's has taught me a great deal.  First, it has really shown the ability within myself to make things happen for what I believe to be important in my community.  I have learned that I have the tools, resources, strength, education and motivation to make my goals and dreams become reality for other early childhood professionals in my community.

I have also learned the value of research, connections and relationships throughout the course and throughout my experience at Walden University.  The connections, the learning on research and the resources gained have taught me that they are an invaluable tool and will only aid in my strength to be an agent of change for what I believe in.

Finally, I have learned that there are no boundaries for what I want to accomplish.  The last discussion post really made me think of the future and made me realize that receiving my Master's degree is not the finishing point but only the beginning of a life of future goals and accomplishments.  I want to continue my experiences, share my knowledge and bring about change to my community and I am now prepared to do just that!

My long term goal is two fold.  I want to begin my training and eventually have my training business be recognized state wide within the next few years.  Once that is accomplished, I will go back to school to obtain my Doctorate and work for even more future gains for the benefit of the early childhood community.

A farewell message to my colleagues and professor....Thank you for your hard work and dedication to young children and their families!  Many of you have been in every class that I have attended at Walden and I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to learn from all of you.  I look forward to seeing and hearing your names in the future as you too become agents of change!  Good luck and best wishes!!
