To my colleagues, to each of you individually, I have enjoyed learning from each of you and learning with you. Each week I look forward to hearing from you. It often excites me when someone has chosen to write about the same person or topic that I have. I would read it with anticipation to see which of the points you chose to highlight and it is always different from the points I chose to highlight and in return, we learn from each other.

Some of you are already in your professional field and some like me are still waiting for the chance to be hired into our field so we can apply our learned knowledge, respect and care towards educating young children. Whatever position you all presently hold or will hold in the future I wish you great success in you endeavors.

I thank you for taking the time to render helpful and encouraging words and advice to me in comments to my assignments. It has been my pleasure to have been among such an impressive group of professionals. May all your dreams and wishes come true. Take care and keep respectfully loving young children and their families.

Your colleague, Darlene Thomas
