Time Well Spent

Through this course I learned:

I am on the last step of attaining my goal of receiving my master’s degree, and it is becoming a reality.
I have found a passion in creating an anti-bias environment and curriculum through my studies at Walden University.
Through my work and studies I am very knowledgeable and I have a voice to make a difference in this field that I love.

Long term goal:

I will not stop being a lifetime learner and continue to pursue education and new research and knowledge in early childhood education.
Farewell to all my colleagues who have helped me and supported me through this journey. Thank you, Dr. Teri for all your feedback and positive words in this
final class.

  2. Alissa,

    It has been a wonderful experience for me, and I want to thank you for your contribution in it all; the sharing of your experience, the encouragement and the questions that made me think a bit more. You chose a great quote and I cannot imagine the influence you will continue to have on young children and the entire ECE community.

    All the best as you put your passion and knowledge to work.

  4. Alissa-
    You nailed it on the head when you mentioned the word, "reality." I couldn't agree more! It's crazy to think that we will soon have a diploma in hand. But, even better, we have changed so much and for the better. Thank you for your continued words of encouragement and help along the way-
    All the best

  5. Alissa,
    Thank you for that beautiful quote. A teacher has influence, and cannot imagine how far or widely spread that influence goes, that is why acquiring knowledge is crucial. Our program at Walden had equipped us with so much knowledge to bring positive influence to our world. I commend you for your hard work and wish you success as we go out to truly respond to the challenges we have identified. The world is waiting, the younger generation is waiting, and we will boldly take the stage.
    Thank you for all the support you gave me throughout our time together. I appreciate all your contributions. Keep the vision alive.

Even though, this program is truly ending at this time, I know it’s a call to pursue a higher purpose of making the changes we are so passionate about in the lives of the children. Thank you very much for all your support and contributions. God bless you.
