As I reflect over my course, Foundations: Early Childhood, I am pleased to say that I am happy to have made the decision to receive my Masters in the education field. Studying education was never my main focus and I never thought I would consider, but the love for children has brought me here. To witness and see so many people who have the same passion as myself, brings a new light to life. Learning that the first three years of life are important, gathering resources, learning different ways to interact and communicate with parents and families are very essential to me as I plan to become a teacher and advocate for children. Unfortunately, there are people in the world who study these materials but still do not have the best interest at heart for children. I am happy to say that my colleagues are not those people; they are people of professionalism, wisdom, love, courage, discipline, and leaders. I never thought I would feel comfortable with discussing and interacting with such a positive group over the internet. I feel a deep connection with each of them, as we are all striving to think of and participate in ways of creating a safe and healthy environment for our youth. To my colleagues, I feel that I have met each of you personally and ending this course with you all is a bittersweet moment for me. To my professor, Dr. Janet Kien, thanks for being patient with each of us as we come to you with our many questions and concerns. Thanks for being there and guiding us through this experience.
To my colleagues and future leaders, thank you for your continued support and encouraging words. Sometimes just a few words of "Good Job" and "Well done" are much needed words when trying to navigate through life. I wish the best for each of you and remember,
"The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination."

Hi Latasha!
ReplyDeleteVery nice post! I am very happy that we were able to work together in this course. I was also happy to see that our colleagues share the same passion for this field. It takes a special person to be a teacher. I wish you the best of luck in your future courses towards achieving your master's degree. Maybe we will end up in another course together. Thank you for that quote; It spoke volumes!
