My Journey….
Through this journey, I
had the opportunity to learn whom I was as a professional. I learned I was a
leader with drive and determination to create change. I was able to articulate
a problem and strategically develop a plan to work through it. Another thing I
have learned on this journey is to have a passion for the work you do. Early
childhood has always been a passion of mine, but I learn how deep my passion
was for the field. I truly look at myself as an early childhood professional
that is skilled and knowledgeable that can to advocate for my passion. Lastly,
over this journey I have learned to embrace the different perceptive of others
and learn from it. As an early childhood professional, you should look at
differences as a teachable moment to be used to broaden your thinking. Over
this time, I have learned what it is to be an early childhood professional, and
be globally prepared for the world.
Long Term Goal…..
My long term goal is to travel around the world, to speak at
conferences, trainings, and forum on early childhood. I want to be at level in
my career where I am looked up for guidance in the field. I want to be able to
share what I have learned and researched with other professionals. I want to
leave a legacy in the early childhood field.
Farwell…. (For Now)
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY
INSTRUCTOR AND COLLEAGUES FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM DURING THIS
TIME. I’VE GAIN SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO BE A LEADER AND A PROFESSIONAL IN
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD FIELD. AS WE CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY, ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR
PASSION FOR CHILDREN…Andrea

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteWe started out on this journey together. It has truly been a "time well spent." I have grown from the first day of the program. I am glad that I choose to obtain my Master of Science Degree in Early Childhood Studies. I feel that I am better prepared for my job and future positions that I want to obtain. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights through this course. I wish you well in the work you do in the early childhood field.
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how enlightening an experience can be for a person to discover their own personal passions? I think it's awesome how you've personally discovered how deep your passion for working in education and how it help transpire your ability to share knowledge with your fellow colleagues. Your goal of connecting to educational communities around the world would be a great way to continuing sharing that knowledge. I'm sure being a leader for others would give you such an extraordinary sense of accomplishment and reward of doing what you love most!
Best of luck in all your endeavors and passions to come.

In the Interest of All Children,

Hey Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your words of encouragement and wisdom as we end this course. I really like the quote you chose. I look back at my life and cannot believe who I am and what I am doing today! I thank God everyday for the countless blessings He has given me and I can only hope I can be a part of providing His blessings to all the children and families I serve on a daily basis. Goodluck in all you do and God bless you!
