We have finally arrived at the end of this chapter of our educational journey.  Although it wasn’t a picnic in the park this quarter, it has been one of the most eventful, challenging, informative and rewarding experience thus far. We have learned how to truly advocate for children and families as well as how to effectively research, write, edit and revise a research paper.  Although I had some errors in my paper, the feedback received will make me a more effective writer.   My hopes for all of you (my classmates and colleagues) are that you can successfully complete your professional goals and objectives as early childhood educators.  I say that as we continue to set the bar high and advocate for those who need us the most, the children and their families.  Best wishes to all and with any luck you will be in one of my 2 final classes here at Kendall.
