Final Kenan Gathering

I know I am supposed to use this blog to discuss the wonderful things I have learned about educational technology, educational policy, STEM, and all that good stuff through the Kenan Fellows Program (And I have learned more than I can ever imagine).

However, This experience has been more one of personal growth.  I came into this program having a grasp of the educational and outreach potential.  What I never imagined was meeting so many wonderful people I no longer call “Fellows;”  instead, you are my friends.  In the words of Anne Shirley, you are my “Kindred Spirits.”

The past three years have been ones that have challenged my confidence in many areas – I will not bored you with this -, but the biggest challenges have been ones of the soul.  My Fellow Friends have helped me recognize that I have value as an educator and a human being.  You have challenged me to learn more about my craft and myself.  You have challenged me to come out of my safe corner and take risks in the great big world.  For that, I am eternally grateful.
