I must that this class has really taught me how to communicate with others on a professional level. Through the ongoing communication we experience in this class I have found out a lot of pertinent information about my colleagues work life as well as personal life! I wish you all the best on your educational journey!! Thanks for the guidance Dr. Parrish!!

Adjourning

When speaking on the adjourning level/step, the group that first comes to mind would be my Rasmussen school as well as colleageus and instructors. I loved the fact that I graduated with my Bachelors degree, but I hated the fact that I would no longer be a part of that community. We all formed bonds both personal as well as intellectual/educational. Teachers and colleagues were so willing to help one another through our journey of obtaining a higher degree. When I actually attended graduation, I was able to meet some of these awesome people!
After graduating , I knew that I wanted to obtain a Masters but Rasmussen did not have Masters programs available! I was stuck and scared about attending a new institution. After searching, several friends as well as internet reviews pointed me in the direction of Walden. Upon first entering the Blackboard everything was soooooo different!! I was so accustomed to Rasmussen that this new school had almost intimidated me! After about the first week of class I felt right at home! Instructors were sweet and helpful and so were my colleagues!
Even though the adjourning of my Rasmussen school was hard, Walden made it quite comfortable for me to feel right at home again! I feel this is because trust was set up from the get go. Just like Rasmussen, my financial aid and class selection went well in the very beginning. These measures helped me gain trust in my future with both schools because they seemed to know what they were doing and I was willing to place my educational future in their hands!! Adjourning was sad but my entrance to this new school was awesome!
