I must say it has been quite a journey completing my masters
in Early Childhood Education. I had my
doubts about on-line education when I first started, but I can say I have
learned a lot and am now a fan.
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 gained a great deal of insight from the
research papers and articles that I have read due to this program. Remaining
knowledgeable about the issues and trends in this field is very important. The research that is conducted is valuable to
know, it helps me in the classroom. 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
and their families. There is an
organization here in Georgia that is impacting the poor; I think I will join
their efforts to combat poverty in the lives of people.
I would like to say a special thanks to Dr. Teri and to all
of my colleagues. I wish all of you the
best in your future endeavors.
