- An explanation of your most passionate hope for your future as an early childhood professional and for the children and families with whom you work or will work.
Having a child of my own started me
on the path to pursuing a degree in early childhood education. It was difficult for me to place my child in
the care of strangers, when he first began daycare. I ended up making bonds with the teachers and
director of the program he attended. This
was amazing to me because I never imagined that the experience would result in
a rich outcome of sharing my child’s growth with others. Unfortunately this center closed after his
first two years. I then began thinking
of the positive experiences that I had; which led my passion to create an environment
where I can give those experiences back to families in my community, as I had
received. My most passionate hope as an early
childhood professional is to provide a welcoming environment to all children
and families where children can grow, learn, develop positive self-identities,
and respect for others.
- A brief note of thanks to your colleagues.
I would like to say to all of my colleagues that I have
greatly enjoyed this experience. Even
though we have not met in person I have gotten to know you all through our communication
and appreciate your comments and feedback.
I would like to wish everyone the best and thank you for all of your
professional expertise.
