WOW! Sunday will be a big relief and a very happy moment for me. It seems like yesterday I started this program. I have learned many things in this course and especially from my classmates. I am not going to miss all the papers and assignments but I will miss hearing my classmate’s views and life experiences. I was excited each week to read what others wrote! So I want to say thank you! Thank each person for sharing their opinions and holding nothing back J
Secondly,
I want to thank Dr. Teri. Her weekly news letters helped take a little stress off my back because I knew what to expect for the week. You are an awesome teacher and I only hope to help others as you have helped and inspired me!! So once again thank you!
I wanted to share a few pictures of my inspiration… my family J Also I wanted to share a picture of the students that I educate on my school J
· This field has created ethics guidelines which guide professionals in their interactions with children, families, colleagues, policy makers, and the public in general (Laureate Education, 2011). With that said, over the course that have given me the tools to interact with others in a professional manner and has given me the tools to be able to make a difference
· This program has taught me that there is hope in the future of our children. I have seen others in my class that shares the same passion for our children!
· WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Long-Term Goal:
· I want to make sure that every child in Muscogee County has basic knowledge of the importance of following a healthy lifestyle. I want to be able to go into each classroom and educate our children and provide take home tools for them.
You know what? I'm starting to feel like I've been set up! LOL, well not really but a little. Reading through final blogs is emotional for me. I want to say farewell to everyone but I don't want to cry. This is bittersweet and I wonder why my Husband didn't experience these feelings when he completed his degree. Best of luck to you and take care. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen - I am experiencing a wide range of mixed emotions as I end this journey, too. I am looking forward to refocusing my time and attention on my children who have supported me so fully throughout this process;. However, I will miss the interaction with my classmates and being challenged academically. I have really enjoyed reading your discussion posts and learning from your experiences. I have had to work closely with our school nurse for two years due to medical conditions within my classroom. Her insight and guidance have been so informative. I have thought of her several times as I have read about your experiences. I wish you the best as you continue your career.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I love that you have included pictures of your family. My "gang" has played such an important part in helping me complete this goal. I will forever be grateful to all of my family and friends. Sunday I also breath a sigh of relief! Oddly, there is a part of me that will miss portions of this routine. But, I look forward to getting back to a less stressful existence. Best of luck to you.
ReplyDeleteDear Karen,
ReplyDeleteI hope that your determination will provide an opportunity for you to impact school lunch across the country so children are encouraged to enjoy and develop healthy foods. Your little one has grown so much, it is amazing to think he had not been born when the course began. Congratulations and best wishes.
