We have completed all our activities for ED644 and I have signed my Addendum, and submitted a copy to Dr. Rivera via Ms. Anita at SOE. I was glad for Lorna G. she provided the cake, the last thing I needed not to worry about. I provided a pizza snack and some drinks, also a handout for the parent to take with her. I was kind of disappointed in myself on the week of our Family Literacy Celebration, how I was sick with the flu. Regardless, I got it done, managed to get a banner and make a movie made with with movie maker. My file was too big to send via email, so I saved it onto a disk for Dr. Rivera's review. I am glad this semester is over, although I think I am really going to miss the hectic schedule I had this semester. I had my full-time job, teaching two classes and one at GCC. I hope the next semesters will not be as hectic. Hopefully, I am going to be able to give up something after I have finished my Master's degree.
I would like to take this opportunity to give a big THANK YOU to Dr. Rivera for her constant guidance, and encouragement, advisement, counselling, etc. I don't think I would have made it far without her guidance. I know in the future I am going to be keeping in contact with her as she has proven to be an invaluable support for me throughout my Master's program. It was an interesting semester, as I have taken two intensive courses, with much work, and to top it all off I had to take the Praxis II Exam-Reading Specialist. I was especially excited to actually take the exam, because now I know what to expect. But the preparation, most especially the time leading up to t he actual exam was terrifying, the waiting was what I dreaded the most. Now what I am dreading is finding out my score. I hope I did well enough so I do not have to repeat the exam again. We'll see...and begin to pray...

Joe,
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome! Your hard work and diligence paid off! Kudos to you for making a difference in the life of B.M. You did an amazing job, and it's obvious that his mom was happy with the improvement in his reading level. I wish you the very best, and I am confident that you will continue to make an impact in the community.
