When I made the decision to do an on-line Master's program I was a bit skeptical about the depth of learning that I would be able to grasp. I have been amazed over and over again throughout this program. My classmates have been extremely supportive and I have learned so much from them I will forever be indebted to each of you for forcing me to grow as a professional. So the first consequence of my experience is being amazed at the depth of learning I have experienced. The second consequence is that it has caused me to think consider the possibility of continuing down my educational journey and seeking doctoral degree. I really never had considered it until now. I have grown to love the interactions between classmates and look forward to hearing the various perspectives on similar topics. The third consequence is the transformation within myself regarding my comfort level in advocating for comprehensive early childhood system. I felt coming into this class that I had a foundational knowledge, but I feel fully equipped to go to Capital Hill and testify about the importance of comprehensive early childhood systems.
My goal is connected to my last consequence because my goal is to go to Washington, DC and testify in some type of hearing on child care issues about the importance of comprehensive early childhood systems for ALL children. This program is equipping me to meet my ultimate of goal of possibly getting a change to work in DC as an early childhood public policy specialist.
I want to thank all of my classmates for your part in my education journey and thank you so much for pushing to think about things differently. The experience has been priceless!!
Thanks!
