Time Well Spent

Ahh! The sound of sweet success is ringing in my ears. It is hard to believe that I am in the final week of master's degree program at Walden University. The journey has taken me three years to complete.  I have learned that I can be a leader and advocate for young children. Prior to the start of this program, I never viewed myself as a leader nor did I really feel compelled to step into that role. But now more than ever, I have a burning desire to do more than just sit on sidelines and watch others lead the way. In the future, I want to be more involved at work and the community by taking the initiative to lead groups.  

Furthermore, I have learned the importance of collaboration.  My three year journey means that I have taken these courses with many different groups of individuals with various backgrounds and experiences. My learning has been positively influenced by the feedback and experiences that my colleagues have shared with me. I would love to continue our collaboration beyond Walden. In one course, a fellow student created a Facebook page. If you are interested in this, I will create a group for us but I need your email address to invite you.

Finally, the most important lesson that I have learned from this program is that if you have passion that it can drive your vision, mission, and goals for the future.  Our passions merged with a mission can make a positive social change for our society. It echoes back to the idea of stepping into leadership instead of following in someone elses shadow.

Thank you!
