Farewell....

Three deeply felt learnings are pretty well described in my wordle. First, I do indeed have what is necessary to be an effective leader. Next, I will be a lifelong learner. I think I have always known that, but this course reinforced it for me. And lastly, I am amazed at the amount of job opportunities available to me. Since Dr. Teri had us do that assignment on international jobs, I am in awe of the possibilities!

            My long term goal is to always avail myself to learning opportunities. I do not ever want to stop learning or advocating for children, ALL children. I hope that obtaining my master’s degree avails me many opportunities to advocate and I am sure that it will. I look forward to it.

            It is hard to believe this journey is over… I will miss you all as my colleagues and I wish you all many blessings and success wherever the future leads you. I am sure that some of you will surpass your “dream speech” and I will be proud to say “ I knew them when…” And what words are appropriate for Dr. Teri? She somehow congealed us into students worth receiving our master’s degree! Thank you.

            I will end this with a few favorite quotes… “The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind. – Maria Montessori

            How one handles success or failure is determined by their early childhood. – Harold Ramis

            From birth to five, the brain downloads the world. – Daphne Ryser
