Your topic this week is to talk about your greatest achievement.
I don't know if I can say this is my greatest achievement; however, this past weekend I finished graduate school and now have my Masters degree. You don't have to call me Master Potter. Mr. Potter will still do. Still, it feels good to be done with my Masters degree. Every week I had an essay that was due on Sunday. You guys think writing a blog every Sunday is bad? You have no clue. Try having to read books every week and then write an essay about the readings. Every week. For 18 months. That would be a year and a half. That's a lot of essays.
Nevertheless, I made it. I am done. So it's called a Masters degree and it begs the question: What have I mastered? I would say if anything, it has shown me that I may never be a master. My degree was for Literacy and Technology. I learned a great deal about technology and how it can be used in classes. However, everyday new programs are designed and new breakthroughs occur with technology. This is why I say I may never be a master. I did learn a lot though. My seniors did a research paper this last semester where they used their research to create a digital story (fancy words for a movie). All of my classes are using blogs. Both come from my Masters course, and both I consider integral parts of what I do in my classes.
So is this my greatest achievement? Probably not. I have had other great achievements in education, sports, and in my personal life. Finishing my Masters was just another great achievement. And thank God it is finished...cause seriously, if I had had to write another essay this weekend...think flamethrower.
