As I write for my blog post for my last course of my M.S program, I get mix feelings from excitement, happiness, accomplished and sadness.

I started this program when I was taking care of my newborn baby. I remember the days I had to work on my assignments late nights to be able to submit on night with my baby distracting me. Now that past 2 years from stating the program, I feel accomplished. I have leaned many new information that will lead me be a great leader and advocate for children in the field of early childhood. I also feel sad because I will miss my colleague’s discussions and courses. 

In my last capstone course, my knowledge grew in the field of early childhood. I learned how to take personal role as a leader of positive social change on an issue/ challenge. I leaned the importance of communities of practice and creating and evaluating my own community of practice for my issue. I also leaned researching past and current historical context of the challenge that I chose. 

Finally, analyzing the intended and unintended consequences of the challenge that I chose in this course. My long team goal is to be a director of early childhood program. 

My advice to my colleagues who have dreams of becoming passionate advocates in early childhood related matters is to continue with the same spirit. They should know that being concerned with the lives of young children not only contributes to professional rewards, but is also a demonstration of realizing that people are born to assist others. People aspiring to be passionate advocate in early childhood should also realize that their determination would enable them to accomplish their goals.
