Wow, 18 month can really fly by! I would
not have been able to imagine that I would have been able to attend an online
university and felt this connected with others. My journey through this
experience has been life changing. My evolution as an individual is due to my
educational experiences here at Walden University. I have established a new
mindset, one that is open to the ideas and perspective of others,
self-reflective, to continuously learn, and become a leader of social change to
impact the greater good of society.
I thank my colleague who have supported me
along the way and have helped guide my thinking through discussion post and
blog comments. I am honored to have worked alongside talented individuals who
motivated me, encouraged me, and inspired me to get out of my own way and
succeed. I am so proud of all of you and I can't wait to see the amazing things
you will do in the future.
I would also like to thank Dr. Dratt your
guidance was amazing! I did not think that I would be able to complete my Capstone
but you were able to walk me through the process and keep me on track. Thank
you for providing us with opportunities to think beyond our current situation,
look a vast job opportunities with in the field of early childhood, and
providing meaningful feedback to promote growth. I have grown because of you
and all the amazing professors a Walden.
Now, I will begin a new chapter in my educational career
earning a doctoral degree in Early Childhood Education. I know that road of
head of me is not easy but I have gained abilities, resources, and tools
through my experience in this program that will support me through the next
chapter. I have a new self-confidence that was established here a Walden
University.
Before we leave I would like to share the video that I watch
to help me remember why I do my job and lifts me up when my work overwhelms me
and seems to difficult to handle.
Be inspired, Be encourage, Be connected, Be present, and Be an innovator of social change!
Please keep in touch.
