Three deeply felt learnings that have changed my thinking:
-that I can be an agent of social change just by cultivating awareness and influencing my immediate community
-the realization that I am a part of many communities of practice in my daily life. Starting one with a group of individuals who believe strongly with me on a topic challenges me to work on my collaboration skills
-the importance of knowing what I'm talking about- meaning knowing the historical and current context of my topic- to validate my professionalism
Long-term goals:
-To begin teaching EC courses at the community college level
-Open up a Preschool Village outside of the military post in my community
I want to say thank you to my instructor for creating a classroom atmosphere that fostered open communication and was a safe place to express thoughts and ideas. I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors and hope to meet up with you again in the future. To my classmates, I thank you for being driven to make change in the EC field and in the lives of children all over the world. You have inspired me to dream bigger than I have before. I believe that each of you will be successful in everything you do because of your love for children and your determination to make a better world for them. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Many blessings to you all!

Lemora,
ReplyDeleteI would like to say congratulations on finishing the course and pursuing your dream. This has been a pleasure to share all the learning and growing in the field of education. I will not miss coming in from work tired and having to work on a paper. This has been a great learning experience. I love the pictures of your classroom. Good Luck!! Hope to see you at graduation!!

Lemora, I love your goals, they are very admirable! What are the requirements to teach at a community college? I do not have my license, my bachelor's is in something different than education. Thank you for your help, I wish you well in all that you do and I hope you are able to accomplish everything you dream of!
