Time Well Spent

Over the past two years I have completely invested myself into this program not only for the betterment of myself, but most importantly, for my son. Mid-program I went through huge life changes: going through a divorce, becoming a single parent, relocated, my home being burglarized, switching jobs; all while attempting to complete this program and being a great mother for my son. I can admit I have shed lots of tears, become completely overwhelmed with making sure I submitted my assignments and posts on time and correct, and even contemplated taking an academic break to focus on my personal life. After talking with close friends and family I was able to refocus myself and realize God would not have allowed all this to happen without a reason and I could not give up on my dream. Overall, this Master’s experience has been life altering in numerous ways: personal, professional, and academic. I would like to thank all my professors and colleagues for being there when I needed you the most, even when you didn’t know you were my backbone and my unending support throughout this journey. I have learned so much about the profession of Early Childhood Studies: Administration, myself, and my true passion for helping and being the voice for others.

A short-term goal for myself would be to become an administrator within my current educational district in Channelview, Texas. After accomplishing that goal, I see myself becoming a leader in my community and state regarding Early Childhood Education, Development, and Success.

Again, Thank you to all of you from professors, colleagues, the technology people that I called once a month(lol), the financial aid dept, my family and friends, and everyone else that has continuously supported me and allowed me to follow my heart and passion to getting my Masters. Good luck to everyone on continuing our journey, I know we will meet one day on a professional platform!
