14
In closing another chapter in my novel, Fontbonne
University has been a journey that has provided me
great knowledge, enduring strength, determination
and a abundant sense of accomplishment.
I am very proud of what I have completed with the
help of the instructors at Fontbonne University.
The eleven courses were filled with so much
technology and hands-on experiences that I know it
will be beneficial in applying instruction in my new
career in the area of Instructional Designer.
