Time Well Spent

At least three deeply felt learnings from this program:
1. I have learned about nurturing and building relationships with families and their children. This is very important for the early childhood field. You want these families to feel comfortable so they are comfortable about leaving their children. You want them involved in their children's education. This program has made me realize that nurturing pays a big part in these families lives.
2. I have learned the true meaning of passion. I have always been passionate about my work. When I start collaborating with my colleagues, I learned that so many of us had the same vibe. I found out that there are other teachers that share the same passion I have for families and children. The program has inspired my passion to where there is no limit.
3. The last one for me is leadership. I have learned different learning styles to become a great leader. I know what it takes to be a great educator in the ECE field. I know what I have learned will help me in continuing my career journey.
At least one long-term goal
I have a long-term goal and that is to continue to be passionate in what I am doing. I will continue to find ways to get parents involve in our program. I will get my parent group together and my number one goal is to work hard to become a Master teacher and help other teachers. I want everyone to be a success in their classrooms.

 

My Farewell Message

 

To my colleagues,

 

I want to thank you for all your support! I have enjoyed the collaborations, sharing ideas, and the motivation from each and everyone of you! I can honestly say that it was because of all of you that I have made it to the finish line. I remember there were days I wanted to just give up. I had some of you telling me to keep moving. I will use and take what I have learned from each one of you. You are some smart, ambitious and unique group of scholars! I wish all of you the best luck in the whole wide world. Remember that there is nothing that you cannot do! God Bless Everyone!

 

To Dr. Darrt,

 

I want to thank you for providing the feedback that you have given me. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all your support!
