The past year and a half have been the most rewarding
weeks. I have learned a great deal about
the Early Education field not just from the class but from those whom I have
had the opportunity of working with in the classes. I have learned how to build an early
childhood program and most importantly how to fund the program. Secondly, I have learned to stay up to date
with the evolving early childhood field.
The education field is constantly changes. With that being said, we as educators need to
stay abreast of the new strategies and tools being developed to help meet the
needs of all students and families.
Third, I have gained the ability to be a passionate advocate for
children and their families. I am a
bigger advocate because of this class. I feel confident in being a part of
organizations to voice my opinions and to help in the efforts to making
positive change within the community. I
am not afraid to let my voice be heard.
The long term goal I have set for myself is to start an
epidemic that resonates within schools allowing all parents and families to
become involved in schools. I want
families to feel welcome and confident in being involved. My goal would be for family involvement to
become something they want to do rather something they have to do. I would like families coming to me asking how
to be involved rather the school going to them. Once I have made a difference
on the local level, I would like to go state or national wide spreading to word
on why families need to be involved.
My journey has been a long and challenging a times. But, I would never change it for
everything. I have a feel of
accomplishment and fulfillment as I complete this last assignment. I have gained professional from each and
every person I have come in contact with.
There are several people I would like to thank. It is because of them that I was able to
complete my degree. I would like to
first thank my family and friends for pushing me to my max and encouraging me
to continue strong. To all my
professors, you have believed in all I have done and continued to push me to do
more. You set the expectations high and
with that given me to ability to be successful.
Finally, to my colleagues, you have all been so amazing the entire
journey. Your passion, feedback, and
ability to be leaders has shown me the true meaning of successful leaders and
educators. I have learned so much from
each of you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills, and experiences with
the class. I wish each and every one of
you the very best. I am very grateful to
have been granted the opportunity to work with each one of you. Best of luck in
the future! I look forward to keeping in
touch with all you.
Thank You,
Victoria Reigart
