2015 Reflection: The year of the voice

12/30/2015

0 Comments

 
2015 has been a wonderful, great, exciting, and eventful year.  Graduated with my master's;  did not start my Ed.D. program like I wanted (but very satisfied because I recognize some passions of mine that I want to pursue); and got a promotion.  Even better, I got to travel to new places including Philadelphia and Puerto Rico, present at a conference, and learned new people (thank you DENSI 2015).  

As you can tell, 2015 was a very decent year.  The one thing I think though that had the most impact on me this year was I discovered my voice within the space of education.  Honestly based on previous years of experience, I kind of learned to keep my thoughts to myself.  At times that is important, but so is speaking up for what you value.  This year, I learned that I have a voice and it does matter.  Moreover, there are people who have some of the same values and thoughts as I do.  Using that voice helped me also notice how using it can empower someone else to recognize they have one as well.  

My goal was not to over dwell this evening; yet, simply, to state some of the highlights of this past year.  There are a few more that will be shared over the next coming weeks.  Mostly, I want educators and students to recognize they have voice and that voice matters!
