                                Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year

I want to take a moment to convey wonderful Christmas greetings to my fellow students in my foundations class at Walden University. I want to say also that this has been a life- changing experience for me. I have never done an online class before so I was very nervous to begin. However, when I got over the introduction and saw that there were many more nervous students having a similar experience, I was encouraged.

The format that the class took was surprising to me in that, we had weekly discussions and interaction that gave me the feeling of being “in class”. I was frustrated before I started but as the experience grew my fears disappeared, I realized that it is a normal class in an amazing setting. I have gained valuable insight and understanding, and a wealth of knowledge in the early childhood field.  

When I shared with my family and friends that I was going to do this program, they were excited for me and reassured me that I will be fine. That was very true because I found a wonderful community of learners, with the same goals in mind and that made it doable for me.


 I have gained a lot of motivation, my thinking is heightened and my knowledge has increased. I am inspired to continue working towards my goal of becoming the best professional, alongside you awesome community of remarkable people. Enjoy the break and your wonderful families.

  3. Sherron, I completely understand your being nervous about the course. I am so glad that you eventually saw that you were not the only one filled with nervousness. I too felt nervous. Asking questions to our colleagues and professor helped me to overcome my nervousness. I felt so much more comfortable knowing that I had supportive colleagues as well as profession that were willing to answer any questions I had. I truly enjoyed being a part of this class and look forward to working with you in future courses.
