"Education is the most powerful
weapon which you can use to change the world."
― Nelson Mandela
When I began my journey at Walden
in 2012, I never imagined what the experience would entail now that it is
ending. It has been a life changing
experience. I am extremely grateful to Walden for the opportunity to study with
colleagues globally and that alone has been extraordinary. Although I have
experienced much adversity and personal losses during this process; this has
definitely been time well spent. From
this program:
1.
I
have learned a great deal about who I am as a person, educator, and leader.
2.
Personally, I have matured in my way of
thinking as it relates to issues and trends affecting children and families in
the early childhood field.
3.
Professionally,
I learned what advocacy is really about and have a clearer understanding of my
role as advocate in the early childhood field going forward.
A long-term goal is to follow
through with opening and operating the Look Again Organization that my husband
and I started 4 years ago. The organization is to provide parent and family
education and support for the at risk families in our local community and
statewide. It has not developed beyond articles of incorporation and
establishing the board. I can now shift my focus back to obtaining a 501C 3
non-profit status.
I would like to thank my
colleagues who have made the experience richer in so many ways. I appreciate
the new perspectives acquired through the discussions posts and blogs that will
have a lasting impact on my professional career. I wish the best for each of
you as you continue to operate in your passion of improving the lives of
children and families. Feel free to contact me at audreymoye1@yahoo.com
God Bless!
