I am extremely happy about finally completing this program at Walden. It has been a long, but successful journey, and I have learned a lot of new things that will benefit as I continue on life's journey. I've learned about diversity which allows me to understand the differences in other cultures, lifestyles, and background. Diversity has also taught me to self-evaluate in order to eliminate personal biases I have about others and to recognize the individual differences that make us all unique. I've also learned about building communities of practice in order to help me identify the problems and concerns that exist in the early childhood field. The more people I involve in my community of practice will help me to broaden my thinking and develop solutions that will benefit children and families. Also, I've learned that early childhood field consists of a lot of dedicated and passionate educators who work hard to ensure that all children receive appropriate educational opportunities. These educators continually strive to increase equality in education in order to promote growth and development in all children.
One of my long term goals is to continue my education in order to stay informed of the constant changes in the early childhood field and become a stronger advocate for children and families.
Dr. Shephard, you have made this last semester a true learning experience. I thank you for all of your feedback, suggestions and additional resources which were all very helpful through the course. I have been inspired by your dedication to helping us complete our journey. Again, thank you and God bless.
Colleagues/friends, it has been an amazing journey! I have learned so much from all of you through your stories and experiences, and it made learning so much easier knowing that we were all in it together. I wish all of you much success in the future, and hopefully I will see some of you in future courses. Stay positive, remain passionate, and continue to work for our children, as well as inspire others. Good Luck and Thanks for Sharing!!!
