Time well spent


The last few years have been an exciting ride full of both personal and professional insights.  I am looking forward to putting the knowledge I’ve gained into play but feel a little sad to be leaving this phase of my life and learning.  I have gained a greater understanding of what adults need to be successful learners, a renewed passion for hands on work with children and a very well defined direction for where I want to go in my life.  All of these things have come about from my study and interactions with the professors and colleagues and I thank you all for your insights. 
My goal is to put into place all the things I learned.  I would like to continue to work with the toddler classroom that I am in but also add a part time on-line teaching position where I could teach and hopefully inspire other ECE professionals.  I feel that this would create the ideal situation for me where I can work hands on with children and give back to the profession by helping to train the next generation of ECE professionals.   

I wish each of you the best of luck in all your endeavors and hope to be able to cross paths as we all head down our own roads of professional development.  I have gained a great deal from knowing each of you and thank you for your unique perspectives and how they have colored my life. 
As you move ahead to change the world and achieve your own goals remember, “by small and simple things are great things brought to pass.”

Thanks again
