Time Well Spent - Farewell

I must say it has been quite a journey completing my masters in Early Childhood Education.  When I started this program I did not have much faith in on-line education.  I can say that I have learned a lot and am a now a fan of on-line education.

I have learned a great deal from my journey.  I have learned about myself that I am disciplined and committed to my profession in the early childhood field.  I have worked hard and have been diligent in my approach to learning. I have learned so much from the articles and papers that I have read throughout the program.   I have also learned that keeping abreast of the issues and trends in this field is very important.  There is so much research being done that reading keeps you aware of what is happening in the field.  I have also learned how fragile young children are and that my commitment to teach them is a very important job.    I realize that my input in their lives is invaluable and makes a difference for them in the future.   Lastly I learned that my colleagues/classmates are an invaluable tool to my learning.  I gained a great deal of insight from reading your discussion and blog posts.

I would like to become part of an initiative that is focused on helping families living in poverty.  I can see myself working to eradicate poverty from the lives of young children.   

I would like to say good bye to each of you and that you are successful in what you do next in life.  It has been a pleasure knowing each of you.
