Wow, I cannot believe that my journey at Walden is coming to an end! I want to thank all of you for taking this journey with me. I have learned so much more than I ever thought were possible. The three things I learned: First of all, I learned about the world diversity which I knew little about. Now, I know that diversity means embracing and accepting our differences. The second thing I learned what a running head using APA meant. I cannot believe how many points I lost trying to do this correctly. Now, I know exactly what a running head using APA format means. Finally, I gain a lot of confidence about myself while exploring and understanding my own biases and cultures.
My one long term goal is to continue to learn. We can learn something new everyday. Also, I want to keep in touch with my Walden colleagues as we move on with our lives. Someday, I would like to become an online instructor helping adults to continue their education.
Again, I want to thank all of my colleagues for helping me through my journey at Walden. Cassie, Theresa, and Evelyn, you were my rock! when I did not understand an application. I will be forever grateful! I want to wish you all the best and take care!
Dr. Myers, I want to thank you for all the support and helpful comments with the running head for APA. It meant a lot! I wish you the best, too.
Talae,
ReplyDeleteThank you for everything you have helped me with over these past couple classes. I am very thankful we shared many classes together!
When we exchanged emails regarding the Applications it helped me to understand them better myself.
I will gladly keep in contact and wish you all the best!!!
Talae,
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your support! I finally figured out the APA format for the running head about two classes ago so I know what you mean. I also learned a lot on this journey, good luck to you.
Talae,
ReplyDeleteYou were not alone in trying to do the running head properly (Lol). I think many of us experienced this challenge, however we made it through. That's what colleagues are for; to help each other out. All of us are On this journey for the same or almost the same cause - children and families.
I thank you for being the colleague you are. You have asked for assistance when needed and it feels great to know you had colleagues you could have leaned on.
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS!
Talae,
ReplyDeleteI agree that the APA format was a challenge. Like you I got grade deductions because of it. Dr. Myers was a great instructor and made sure we got it together. I wish you the best in your future endeavors as we close this chapter of our lives. It was a pleasure working with you. I have gained a lot from you and I hope that when I become an educator I can mimic some of your ideas. My email address is quitner@ yahoo. com. Keep it touch!
Talae,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a pleasure having you in all of my courses at Walden. I have enjoyed our discussion and blogs were such great ideas were shared and learned. I wish you all the best of success and God Bless you throughout your journey.
Hi Talae,
ReplyDeleteWe have made it through and that is great. I really plan to go out and celebrate the fact that this leg is over. At times, it was challenging but with God’s help, supportive colleagues, instructors as well as family and friends we made it through. What does this say to us? We will always remember that whatever we achieve in life there are many people who are behind our achievements so our goal should be to assist others along life path. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and I am sure we will be checking in on each other from time to time. God Bless!
