Waaahooo! I made it! My master’s journey has come to an end,
what a ride! Over the past 20 months I have been working tirelessly to become a
Master in early childhood studies. I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t easy and
more than once I questioned my abilities to continue, through it all I endured
and now I can say that it was the best decision I have made. The opportunities
this degree will afford me will be vast and almost limitless.
I was the first one
in my family to complete a college degree, and remain the first to earn a
Master’s degree, I only wish my grandfather was here to see it. I know that he
will be smiling down from heaven and I know he will be proud of me.
I don’t know what the road ahead holds for me, but I do know
that I will take what I learned and apply it in whatever context I can. My
passion and tenacity for supporting the professionalism of early childhood will
serve me well. I will remain an eager and willing advocate for children and families.
I want to thank the instructors at Walden for their hard
work and excellence of programming and also my fellow classmates for keeping me
motivated, your inspiration and dedication to the field is amazing.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again!

Hello Davey! I know that your grandfather is smiling down on you, like so many of our loved ones that we are missing and loving. I recently lost my favorite aunt last month to cancer, she was like a sister to me. I know she will be proud of me as well! I wish you the best of luck!!!
ReplyDeleteDavey,
ReplyDeleteYou have been an inspiration and great support throughout these courses! I'm happy we were able to take this journey together. Your passion for children will help you do such great work for them. I look forward to seeing your name nationally advocating for children.
From the first class to the last class, Davey we made it. I have really looked to you for your intuitive insight on the topics we discussed in class, to the replies you had chopped full of information. You challenged me in many ways to think outside the box, or in a more informed way. You challenged me to dig deeper and find the answers to the questions that arose in our discussion feeds. Davey I appreciate whole heartedly for the challenge to make me a better student and person in the field of ECE.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, and I wish you success in your next ventures in life whether your career or personal if you keep that tenacious attitude then sky is the limit for you. Just think of the places you will go. CONGRTS on your personal and family legacy accomplishment, hopefully you can inspire others to make that leap.
