EDLD+5370+-+Web+Conf+3

 * WEB CONFERENCE #3**

Our conference started a little late due to technical difficulties on Dr. Abernathy’s end. It seems even professors have their share of quirks in the cyber-world of technology.

Dr. A congratulated us on making it to week 3 of our final class and assured us that everyone would be finishing that class successfully. She explained the downfalls of dropping out of the class at this point and was confident that we could all finish successfully, just as others in the grad. class before us.

She explained some of the program procedures that had changed since we started the class -- which ones to incorporate into our e-Portfolios and which requirements might be softened in consideration of our scheduled status.

There were a lot of questions and concerns in regards to the “Internship Field Based Activities Summary Report and Validation.” A lot of confusion on “reflecting back on reflections” – we seem to be caught up in a maze of unfamiliar terms in unfamiliar territory.

One of the concerns I shared was related to the completion of field based activities after the actual graduation date and if we could log an **//anticipated//** completion date after the academic year. Dr. Abernathy was quick to reply with “YES, you can” giving a few of us much relief on that challenging concern.

As our days and hours tick past us, we are **ALL** struggling to get the assignments, parts and pieces put together for this major Internship puzzle. It’s as if the very last class of the program is the “refiner’s fire” and the last push to the goal line will prove our worth. Although I am also struggling to find all the pieces to this survivor’s puzzle, I am determined to **NOT** fail this final challenge. I have come too far to fall short of the goal line, I **WILL** be successful in seeing this to the end, no matter what obstacle is thrown in my path.

Failure is **NOT** an option…
