The Finale 5320 Contribution to my Learning

This is the finale….Wow I can say I made it to the position where I am really done with my Master’s Degree. This has truly been an amazing experience and journey that I was able to accomplish through dedication and hard work. Don’t get it twisted I wanted to give up, I even wanted to quit but I have a daughter who looks up to me and students that look at me as an example that they can do better if they dedicate themselves to it.

This final course of the ADL program was similar to a breeze course and went by rather quickly all while connecting the dots to my innovation plan and making everything make sense on the road map as I call it. On this road map you will see from start to finish and then the final outcome of how I got to where I’m currently at and the ultimate ending goal. Finally getting to this finish line was not as easy as I’d had wished but it has definitely left a mark on me as a person knowing that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to no matter the trails. Really and truthfully anything that we do as people we have to work hard for even though hard times will fall upon us and we have to find a better way to handle situations when they arise. And that is what this entire program and course taught me. Being on this program has opened many doors I never thought would be possible for me to walk through and the first of my family generation to do it. Paving the way for the ones coming behind me.

This semester was bittersweet because all of my other group members either had previously graduated or hadn’t made it to this course as of yet so once again here I am stuck in a class where I absolutely knew no one. But, that was only until I logged on to class typed in the chat that I needed a group to join. No one responded for quite a while until I received a personal message from Ms./Mrs. Kristen Sabbatini aka Krissi. I automatically felt it was meant to be because my daughter’s name is Kristen spelled the exact same way and for short it's Krissy (LOL). Then she added me to her group which contains Ms. Elda, and Ms. Erica, two other group members that I started with when I enrolled into the program. It was like a family reunion, and we got straight to work. Since we both are mom and our children attend out of school activities and on top of all of that we work we mostly communicate via Zoom, Email, Text, and Talking which would last for hours at a time which was cool because even if we needed help from each other all lines of communication was open to talk and get things rolling in a timely manner. With only 2 members in our group, we made it work to the best of our ability and really worked our butts off to get to where we are currently.

For course 5320 I rate myself 95/100. I choose to rate myself at a 95% due to the fact that even though I complete all assignments in a timely manner. I had several revisions to make corrections for simple mistakes such as spelling. I did what Dr. B insisted that I do, which was relook over my assignments and make necessary corrections. She didn’t have to mention the part about resubmitting because I knew that if I was getting the information, it was for me to put it to use and do something about it. I also gave myself the score of 95% because this semester I knew what was up, I knew I couldn’t bull crap around. I had to put my best foot forward and make something shake and if I have to say so myself I did just that. And I feel GREAT like Tony the Tiger.
