I cannot believe that I have made it
to the end of this journey, I thank God He saw me through all the ups and
downs. My experience here in Walden has taught me how to reflect on the issues
and trends at hand. I use my reflection to access deeply seated and intuitive
passionate knowledge to become actionable and help the needy.
Three deeply felt lessons from this
program center on finding out what I can do with people in my community of
practice to bring the change we expect to see. I learned how to form a
successful community of practice with a mind of collaboration, leadership, and
relating with people so that everyone understands that everyone’s decision
counts. I learned that we ought to know the importance of researching on the contextual
history of an issue before advocating. The history of an issue will help us
understand it better and find out ways of improving, solving and adding on to
the work that people have done in the past.
My favorite quote is to “be the
change you want to see in the world” by Ghandi. My long term goal is to bring awareness
to issues affecting children and their families both here in the U.S. and
globally.
Something I would like Dr. Davis to
know is that she has made my experience at Walden wonderful with the knowledge
I gained in this course. I would also like to appreciate her efforts in guiding
us all through this course. I know that with the experiences we had in the past
weeks, we are all advocates that will strengthen our communities with knowledge
from this class. Let us not stop but become visible in our pursuit of bringing
social change to our communities. I will like to end this blog to appreciate my
colleagues with a good thank you for sharing their comments, and opinions for
the past weeks. It only takes one spark to ignite our passion. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
Chika,
ReplyDeleteI have also learned so much throughout this course. I found it very helpful for my future career in advocacy. I wish you the best, and hope you accomplish the goal that you have set for yourself.
Good luck.
