Time
Well Spent
What
a journey I have had. I have learned
many things gotten insights that I would have missed about myself and about
people in general. I have had to get
glasses and give up football for two seasons.
One of the things that I will always keep first in mind is that
we have to remember that cultural shapes all of us, and even if we have not
defined our own personal cultures it shapes who we are and how we respond to
others. Secondly I will not just make a
connection to children but include the family in making them a part of our
connection. Third I have learned the
importance of me making connections to other professionals from all over the world
and keeping up to date with new findings.
My goal is to one by one make a connection to other cultures
and lead children into exploring different cultures and languages. Maybe I will finally catch on and really
learn a new language. It would be
wonderful to learn maybe two languages.
I want to thank each and every one of my classmates and instructors, you have made me dig deep and take the time
to really learn how to use my computer, and sit down and get my work done and
become a dedicated student. I have to
thank my children also, without them I would not have finished this journey.
Maybe in a few years we should all do a blog and catch up with
each other. If you every need to or want
to get in touch with me, I am at carmellianickens@yahoo.com.
Best of Luck to each of
you!!!!
Carmellia-It's hard to believe we are in our last Saturday and I, like you, am very much looking forward to being able to enjoy football season again!! Teaching and exposing children to different languages is incredibly important and I wish I had stuck with my foreign language classes. The world is changing so much and being bi-lingual and having an understanding of different cultures only grows to be more important. Good luck with all your dreams in the future and congrats on obtaining your Master's degree.
