I have come to know that each person a child comes in contact with can leave a mark whether it be positive or negative an imprint will be left.

Through this program I have learned that it takes each person to make an effort in order to make a difference.

Through my studies it was made clear to me that I will never know everything I need to know about myself, children, families, and life’s knowledge is an on-going process.

At least one long-term goal

My long term goal is to establish a village for young mother to grow into positive early childhood parents, and to be able to give their children a bright future as a result of the early childhood development instructions they have received.

I believe I quoted this song early in this course as I was moving on to the next session.  I learned this song for my sixth grade graduation.  This song had and has insurmountable memories for me, for those of you who read about some of my busing issues that I suffered with in elementary school you know how difficult it was for me in those times.  I struggled through those difficult times and managed to achieve my goals in spite of the difficulties.  At the commencement ceremony I had mixed emotions, I cried tears of joy and I was actually sad to leave. I met some good friends and I learned how to survive the not so good times.  So for the good times and the not so good times I sing this song to you.

     So long it’s been good to know you, 

     So long it’s been good to know you

     So-o long it’s been good to know you            

     For a long time this was my home

     Now it’s time to be drifting along

I would love to keep in touch with you all I really will miss the times we had together.  For those of you who remember The Carol Burnett Show, I am pulling my ear right about now. (:

Thank you for all of your support!
