Special Thanks!
When
I enrolled in Walden’s master’s program I was unprepared for everything the
journey would encompass. I remember writing
a paper during my first class outlining what I would need to ensure completion of
the program. I identified one of my
needs as taking care of myself in order to maintain the stamina needed to
continue the pace of working full time while taking classes. What I was unprepared for was the experience
and expertise my colleagues would share with me as we traveled together. I did not foresee my need for support or that
I would try to support my colleagues as much as I could. The support everyone provided along this
journey helped me gain insight and knowledge I could not possibly have gained
on my own. The class material along with
personal experiences that were shared enriched and broadened my understanding
of the importance and extreme value of our profession. Over the past year and a half the names of
some of my colleagues have changed, however the support and camaraderie has
not! Good luck to everyone! I hope we all are able to fulfill the dream
that was our driving force to embark upon this journey. jomazzei@yahoo.com
My experience has been simular, I thought how are we going to support each other when we never get to meet as in a traditional brick and mortar building. But this experience has been more fulfilling, I think because we all come such different places and have so many different insights into this amazing world we live in. thanks for all your great posts, and good luck on your specialization.
