TIME WELL SPENT

A Bitter Sweet Moment!!!!

The time has come for us to say our last goodbyes.  As I sit here and wonder, I think about the song that I use to listen to with my children as Barney tells his friends goodbye at the end of every show.  The lyrics goes something like this "So Long, farewell my friends, goodbye for now until we meet again".   This is not goodbye but farewell because I am sure that in the field of Education and being an advocate for social change we shall meet again.  I have enjoyed learning and discussing what we have learned with each and everyone of you.  I will take with me as I pursue my long term goal of becoming a owner of my own consulting company, the things I learned in this course such as learning about the bias with yourself and addressing that particular issue, form a CoP to help you take on issues that effect the community of Education, and making sure that you are passionate about an issue that you take on as a challenge.

This journey has been fun and informative, but as everything it must come to an end.  I would like to say Thank you to Professor Darragh and my classmate for responding to any question that I had and for the advice and sincerity that was given to me during this course.  I am very grateful to have been able to converse with all of you.  I wish all of you the best in your future endeavors.  I will miss each and everyone.  Until we meet again,  may you be blessed and blessing unto others.
