Time Well Spent

To start off my final blog for my master's I would like to say thank you. This was an interesting journey for me. I would like to thank Dr. Embree for all her hard work for me and the class. Over nine months ago I found that I was pregnant and that the baby was due during the time I would be taking my master's capstone. I decided to put of my capstone course for eight weeks so I could have my baby boy and get my brain kind-of back on track so I could finish strong. Due the month of April our family suffered a tragic loss. My mother-in-law and nephew were hiking in the Grand Canyon and lost their footing and drowned. This has been a very rough time for my family. My three girls were very close to her and they struggle everyday without her. I did not realize how much I have build a positive relationship and loving relationship with her until she is gone. The reason I mention this to you all is because this class has not been easy for me. I was trying to find a way just to write the paper and not interact with the class before class started. I am glad this did not happened because I enjoyed interacting with all and learning about your passions. I found reading and interacting with you help me stay the course so again I would like to say thank you very much. My project evolved as I was working on it and learning from you and Dr. Embree. Because of the state of mind I was in before the course started I was not sure this paper could come together like it did. My long term goals have changed because of my loss. I still want to have a preschool but it will be put off because my family needs me more the starting a new business. Right now my focus is on volunteering at my children's school and helping them succed in school. My baby boy will never know his grandmother but i must create a world of memories for his sister's I will use my education to help my children and the children I work with at the school. Because of this project I will be talking to a few individuals who have built an therapy business in Colorado because they can help me see if it is possible to have them start building a business like this in our community to help with early intervention and intervention. My future was to work on my doctorate but know I am not sure I can accomplish it emotionally. I would like to thank everyone for your support and comments they did help with my project.
