I wanted to continue learning, to challenge myself, and to better prepare myself for the next phase of my working life.
While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:
My husband, Andrew. His love, support and confidence in my abilities have encouraged me to be a better person, to be stronger and to be wiser. <br />
My son, Riley. My greatest accomplishment in life is being your mother. Thank you for your love and for giving me a reason to be the best role model I can be.
What I liked best about online learning was:
I enjoyed the self-directed aspect of online learning. I could work on my courses on my own schedule, but this required a certain degree of organization and self-discipline which are very useful skills to practice.
I plan to use my degree to:
I plan to continue working in Youth Services, focusing on my personal mission of bringing joyful learning to young children and their families through play and informal educational settings.
Now that I have completed the program, I'm most looking forward to:
Having a full set of degrees in the family! My son just graduated from Univeristy of Michigan with a degree in engineering (Go Blue!), I now have my Master's degree, and my husband has a Ph.D.
