Wow! I have learned so much over the past year and a half, but the three most important things that I have learned and will stay with me forever are the awareness of my internal biases and prejudices, the importance of advocating for our children and their families to promote equality and justice for all, and the importance of building a community of practice in order to make a much needed social change.
My long term goal is to make a social change that will empower all children by providing high-quality early childhood programs for all at risk children in my community.
Dr. Morgan, professors, and colleagues, you are a significant part of my community of practice. I could not have made it through this program with your guidance, knowledge, experience, and feedback. I have become accustom to collaborating with all of you; I will miss our weekly discussions. Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to meet many of you at graduation in August. It would be nice to finally meet you face-to-face. I wish you all the best in ALL your endeavors.
Please view the link below...this is my hope for each of you:

ReplyDeleteBrenda,
ReplyDeleteGood luck and best wishes. I think we all have learned from each other and made bonds that will help young children an families across this nation. I can't believe it is over and now it is time to put all of this knowledge to work.
