I Will Miss You, Madrid

BestWeCanBe -JenesisBlog-GoodByeMadrid

 

It’s the last week and I am scrambling to get in as much time exploring Madrid before leaving. I had the luck of only having one final this week, and now all I have is time.

So what did I do? I went to the gardens near a palace for a walk. I got some chocolate and churros at the local favorite San Gines. I saw a show on Gran Via (Madrid’s Broadway). I did some last minute gift shopping. I ate at a Moroccan restaurant and visited a Mosque. Then, of course, I went out with some friends.

This entire week, I just want to take in as much of Madrid because I don’t know when I will come back, and Madrid has become my home away form. I will miss it greatly.

Which brings me to this: Savor life. Savor the moments when you’re with your friends and family. Savor the moments you spend doing regular things. One day, you may have to leave them as new life journeys unfold.

And that’s okay. Not everything lasts forever. That’s how life is, but be sure to appreciate each and every moment.

Best We Can Be is an exemplary implementation of a personalized learning and development process that exploits the potential of digital tools in education. It amplifies a student’s ability to better own their learning and development.
Phillip Dunn, Director of Digital Learning and Technology, Greenwich Public Schools, Greenwich, CT
Best We Can Be is an outgrowth of a collaboration with our high school. We are always looking for creative ways to give our students innovative, extraordinary learning experiences. This is challenging in a time of tight budgets and a focus on standardized tests. Best We Can Be gives students a competitive advantage and helps motivate them to study subject matter outside their comfort zone. It’s a great program and I recommend it.
Jeanne R. Lauer, Teacher, Administrator for eChalk, Virtual High School, and Certiport Test Center, at Academy of Information Technology & Engineering (AITE) High School, Stamford, CT
TCR’s publications are an excellent resource for all nurses – especially Advanced Practice Nurses (CRNAs, CNMs, CNSs and NPs) – considering the selection of an Electronic Health Record system or learning about the implementation process.
Nadia Sultana, Clinical Assistant Professor, Program Coordinator, Nursing Informatics Master’s and Advanced Certificate Programs, New York University College of Nursing
I participated in the Best We Can Be program over the Summer, and have been part of the team since then. I very much enjoy learning about the many different topics in the program, particularly the computer-related lessons. We learn about coding, hacking, protection, and other similar lessons. Although these are my personal favorite activities and lessons, we also learn and view presentations on other topics, such as countries like Turkey and India, what is in the food we eat, and so on — and a…

Being a part of Best We Can Be has been one of the best experiences I have had. I have seen so many students benefit from my presentations. The enthusiasm and curiosity that the participants bring motivates me to impart as much wisdom as I can. Afterwards, I love hearing about how I was able to change the lives of the students I spoke with. I have truly enjoyed sharing my knowledge and wisdom with the Best We Can Be program. Best We Can Be gives students the unique opportunity to explore a va…

I was delighted to learn about the Best We Can Be Program because it fills a critical gap in student education: those often-overlooked skills that can make a difference in whether or not a student succeeds in their chosen path. The programs are concise. They appeal because they inform, but they don’t preach. Anyone who has had a teenage child or teenage student knows how hard it is for them to manage their time — developing that particular skill early on will be invaluable. Wouldn’t mind h…
Dr. Nancy Needham, Executive Director, Global Travel and Tourism Partnership
Best We Can Be is an amazing program. I have learned so much since I found out about it in the beginning of freshman year in high school. The great thing about it is that it doesn’t only focus on one or two subjects. It can be about a variety of things, which makes it more interesting. We could learn anything from human psychology to cryptography. Not only that, but last year, a couple of us along with Dr. Piliouras partook in the American Society for Engineering Education Zone 1 Conference, w…

Dr. Piliouras excels on two fronts – not only in her technology expertise across industries, but also in her ability to communicate her ideas via words, graphics and new Web products to a wide audience. Whether it’s product development, consulting or business writing, Teresa provides the expert advice and guidance her colleagues and clients need to advance.
Lorraine Sileo, VP Research, PhoCusWright Inc.
Dr. Piliouras is one of the most trusted professionals I have ever known.
Janice Hallquist, Yoga Teacher, Owner, Riverside Flowing Yoga, LLC
Time management is a problem for many students and is the root cause of many academic problems. Students who wait until the night before an exam to start studying don’t learn or retain information as well as students who plan ahead. This time management program really makes sense to me. At last, high school students have an alternative to quiet desperation. Best We Can Be Time Management series is a great program! I highly recommend it.
