As I look back over the time I have been in this
program I have learn so much about the field of early childhood education and
about myself. The first thing that I learn was how important it is to have self-discipline.
Earning a degree online is not as easy as people thing it is you have to be motivated
and have a great deal of self-discipline. The second thing that I learn is how
important it is to learn who it is you are working with. When teaching adults
you have to understand how we learn. One of the things is that adult learners
like to know what it is they are learning and why. The last thing is how caring
each of my classmates has been during my stay at Walden. We have worked hard to
keep each other on track so that we can reach the goal we set out for in our
programs of study.
The one long-tern goal I have to share at this time
is the goal of become the Dean of the School of Education. This goal will take
some time to reach but if I stay on the road I am on right now I will reach it
in no time. Earning this Master Degree get me one step closer to reaching it, so
thank you Walden.
It is never farewell it is until we meet again. I
believe that we have developed a family here at Walden and families do not say
farewell. I look forward to working with all of you in the future on some
project to help the lives of young children and families become better. To Dr.
Teri Davis thank you for working with us on this final leg of this chapter of
our lives. I will never forget you and I have save that email you sent me to
cheer me up and letting me know that I could make it. To my classmates hope to
see you all in Beautiful Miami, Florida as we receive our Master Degrees.
Christopher,
ReplyDeleteIt was great working with you over the past couple classes that we have had together. Becoming the Dean of the School of Education is an amazing goal and I am 100% certain you would be amazing at it. Have a great experience achieving all your goals and continuing your education!

ReplyDeleteThank You!
Farewell
Chris, It is gratifying to read how much you have learned in your program. I am so glad my email made a difference to you. And I look forward to meeting you face to face in Miami! Congratulations on a job well done.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Chris in completing this journey! It has been a long road, and with perseverance, we have come to the end! Thank you to you for encouraging me along the way, especially when it became very hard to continue persevering. Now here we are, at the brink of receiving our degrees and this is so very very exciting! I agree with you that getting a graduate degree, online or not, is a lot of hard work and dedication. Each of us have grown in so many ways as individuals and as professionals. I look forward to hearing about your future achievements as a professional in the field. As you mentioned, it is not good bye, it is until we meet again!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed learning from you. You brought an unique perspective on assignments and for that I thank you. Also, you held on to your beliefs about how the early childhood field needs more male teachers and educators in which I also believe, so thank you again. See you in Miami!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Chris! I have enjoyed reading your blog and discussion during the past eight weeks. I am looking forward to going to Miami as well.
