When I think back on this program of study I am reminded that nothing worthwhile comes easy. I have had some good days and I have had some bad days within this program but I won't complain. Three things that I have learned from the program are to know what my biases are and dispel them, I have learned that I can make my voice heard without having to stand on Capitol Hill screaming them, and I have learned that play is an important part of every child's development.
One long term goal that I have is to begin my own center and implement the things that I believe are important to the field of early childhood education.
I want to say thank you to all of my colleagues your input has been tremendous, and I want to say thank you to all the professors for their time, and understanding through the process of completing this degree program it has not always been easy but you've worked with me and through all of my challenges of being a mother, wife , employee, and student and I have learned so much from you all. Take care and I wish all of you well in the future.
