I would like to thank all of my peers, without your comments and replies to my post and blogs, I don't think I would have survived this course. I recieved great responses, replies, and resources that I was able to utilize for my research. I have learned that it is not that easy to be an advocate, it is a lot of work, and you have to be very dedicated to what you are advocating for. In the long run it is worth it, I just didn't realize all the work that would need to be put into it.  I have been in the filed for 14 years, and I have been a director for 5 years now, and I feel that this course really has helped to be a better advocate for the families at my center and for the families that I cross paths with in a daily basis. I would also like to thank our professor, sometimes I feel like she went above and beyond to help us. I am a visual and hands on learner, and greatly appreciate all the visual instructions we got through email. Setting up the blog was not fun, but with the visual instructions we received, it made it much easier. I wish I would have been able to read all the research papers, but I can tell from the blogs and discussion post that it was everyone's best work. Good luck in your future, and I am sure most of us will meet again in Internship 2.
