The End of one course!

My journey began literally 8 weeks ago when EDUC-6005-1 Foundations: Early Childhood Studies class began. Well I guess, "literally" the journey began when I submitted the application, reality when I paid the bill for the first semester, and reality check when the first class began and time management played a HUGE role in my life as a mother, wife, professional in the field, daughter, sister, this list could go on and on and on!

Beginning the final week of this first course, mucho thanks goes out to the Walden community that is beginning to be a bigger part of my daily life. Here is to the many more classes we all have (hopefully some together) and the journey that we're all prepared to complete. Thanks! Thank you for the encouragement, the challenges, and sharing your passions with each of us.

  2. Hi Shelly,
    The same as you, I feel that time management played a huge role in my life (just ask my husband, friends, and relatives), but it has been such a great relief to realize this is the last week.
    Thanks a lot for sharing your personal and professional experiences, for taking the time to ask me questions in the discussion board,and for your comments on my blog posts.
    Thanks again, and I wish you the best with your coming baby. Take care!

    1. Thanks Caty! I still can't believe we're pregnant; at least this pregnancy is a lot easier than the first so its made the family life + school a lot easier. Good luck!
