This program has truly transformed my way of thinking when it comes to the Early Childhood Education field. I am blown away by so many things I have learned. One thing I will continue to carry with me is the quote "You can't wait 'till you know enough"- Julie Olsen Edwards. I am have talked about his quote in discussions and my speech. So often we get caught up thinking we cannot do something simply because we knowledge. While that does hold some truth you will never know everything about everything. Take what you know and build on that go towards your dream. Second thing I learned is about to research. My skills aren't top notch but I believe I am well on my way. The topic of better wages for preschool teachers is not a topic that is right in front of you, it was something I truly had to dig for more and more. I used to dread doing research but now it is something I learned to respect greatly. Lastly, I learned during this program to never stop asking questions. I will ask more going forward.
A long-term goal I have for myself let's say in the next five years is opening a school where I make the rules!
To my colleagues, I have been with some of you all since our Foundations course and it was always exciting to see you all in the next classes! I have learned about you guys and truly wish you all the best in you endeavors! To Dr. E, you have been by far the most influential professor I have had! You have challenged me and encouraged me! Keep giving shout outs because the week I got one made a difference in how I approached my writing from then on. It gave me an extra boost at the right time! It was like you celebrated a win for me and that meant a lot!
Peace and Blessing To You Guys!
We made it!!!!
