Thank you for this Amazing Journey



At least three deeply felt learnings from this program
I learned that the passion that I have from Early Childhood for me is greater for me than ever before also. I think in the 2 years that I have been at Walden I have changed as a young woman, I have grown. This isn’t just because of the classes, it was also that I had to seek out the information that I was looking for.
I also learned that I have the ability to inspire others despite the background that I have come from. I inspire that children that I am with everyday and I also inspire those who question whether this field is right for them. Through this inspiration I am able to ignore now those who say I should get a REAL job or look at what I do as babysitting. I learned that I am in a unique position to make real changes in this world.
I also learned (fingers crossed I did well on the Capstone) I am not the person that I once thought I was. I am able to achieve more and I don’t give myself enough credit for things that I do right.


    At least one long-term goal
A long term goal that I have for myself is to continue to grow as a professional and hopefully to attract others to this field that are as passionate. I would like to become an online professor one day. I have met so many amazing instructors and peers that I would like to stay in this world for a while. I would also like to work for PBS.

Jennifer, it has been a pleasure having you as part of my CoP. I also thought because of my background that this is the wrong career for me but turns out it is the perfect one. Our upbringings gives us the passion to want to make things better and to help those who need it the most. I wish you the best in all that you do and know that you have touched my life in a special way.

Chenieka and Susan I am so proud of you both. We have gone from enjoying to be around children to running with it and taking it to the end. We did good.
