It is hard to believe that this is the last post for the MS in ECS program.
It is wonderful to look back and see how much I have learnt and how much I have grown as a professional and as an individual.
The early childhood development course was probably one of my favorites because it gave me answers to a lot of what I see daily; and so it would be hard for me to choose one thing from that course to describe as a deeply felt learning experience. There are many.
In the course on issues and trends, I learnt a tremendous amount about poverty, its definitions, interpretations, implications, effects on children and how varied it is globally. That has not left me, and I think about children living in poverty often.
Learning about leaders in our profession, through numerous courses, is another deeply felt learning experience, because it taught me about commitment and passion, and its value for childhood.
In this course, I have learnt about my own passions, my own goals and aspirations; and for that I thank Dr. Lisa Embree for continuously encouraging deeper and broader thinking about our projects.
One of my goals is most certainly to work with children who are underprivileged, and after learning about so many organizations globally, I feel very motivated to pursue this goal in the near future.
As a farewell, I have made a short movie that summarizes my blogs and expresses my emotions as we adjourn from our program together.
I am grateful for every classmate I have had and their comments on my posts and discussions. I am thankful to Walden University for enrollment, the courses and the opportunity to complete my MS in ECS. And I am so very appreciative to all my professors for their commitment and passion to educating the educators and leaders in our profession. You truly shape the future.

Zeina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a heartfelt post that you are leaving with. I loved the time and effort that you put into your video. What a great way to reflect upon all the memories that you have created. I would not be surprised to see you involved in a global organization one day. They would be lucky to have you! Good luck in all that you do!
Thank you for the lovely comment Heather.

Hello Zeina,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog. I too had the pleasure of learning from all the courses, especially issues and trends. It is safe to say that the course was a stepping stone for our capstone project. We were able to learn issues in which children and families endure everyday. It was our action to decide on an issue that grabs our attention and turn outcomes in a positive direction.

ReplyDeleteThanks Christina, and the best to you as well.

ReplyDeleteHi! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO? I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share. Kudos!
