I Hope to Hear & See Great Things Soon

What I have learned/ received from this class:
- I have learned to continue building on my vision of success from this class.  At times I felt like I had done the same thing over and over again, but each time I added a little bit more information and made my project a little better.

- I have also learned how two people can have the same vision, but execution can be completely different.  Different executions produce different results.  If you follow your own vision and dreams, you never know how you can impact someone's vision.

- I have learned to push aside my hesitancy and fear of lack of experience.  There are different skills that I can bring to the table of success.  Education and experience do not require a cookie cutter career path.  We are all different and can be very successful while being different.   Diversity is so beautiful, but it is also very beneficial

here are some of the words I was thinking of........

Goals 
One of my goals is to open up a learning center
The learning center will be opening in 1.5 years
Creating a curriculum that supports multicultural education
Partner with a school district to give diversity and inclusion training to staff

To my professor and the future successful graduates of my class
This is a bittersweet message to all of my classmates and professors from Walden University.  I have grown so much during my time as an online student.  I appreciate the constructive criticism, words of motivation and the sentimental stories that we have all read and shared.  Although we didn't get a chance to physically meet, we are all still connected to each other.   With that in mind, I would like to tell you all that I hope to hear and see great things about you and your careers very soon.  To say goodbye is like believing that our paths will not meet again, but I hope they do.  The passion and dreams coming from our discussions were very strong, so I challenge you all to run with them.  I hope and pray that you all will hear and see great things about me as well.

Best wishes on your futures.
