Professional Hopes and Goals

I think about the various ways that I can continue to learn about young children and ways to support their families at the same time. I want to learn as much as I can on different topics in the early childhood field to help support young children and their families to be successful. I feel it is important to help young children and their families truly discover who they are as a person, within their culture, and how their experiences make up who they are in their own skin. The understanding and acceptance of who we are within the world around us will help us begin to discover how to work with others, how to interact with others, and how to response to others in a respectful manner. My one goal for the early childhood field would be to educate young children and their families, including other early childhood professionals the importance of diversity, equity, and social justices are what make a person unique and different from others and to learn from one another. I would make young children, families, and early childhood professionals to share their experiences and their culture with others to learn a way of life that is new to them and how it is important for others in their life in this world they live in. I want each person to know they are unique and valued by others for what makes them who they are is all that matters.

I want to take the time to thank my colleagues and professor for their support and knowledge to help me through this class. I learned by asking questions, sharing personal experiences of diversity and learned to take chances to make a difference by coming out of my shell to fell comfortable to talk about diversity with others. I want to share the knowledge I have gained from this course, my colleagues; thoughts, views, and beliefs on different subjects, and my professor for making me think outside the box.
