Time
Well Spent
What I've Learned.................
One
thing I have learned from this program is the impact a childhood professional
can have on not only the child, but the family as a whole. When we work with a
child we think we are making a difference with that one child but that difference
is going to expand and affect others around that child. Whether it may be the
family he is growing up with or his future family. Through reading extensive
research on how family systems work, I have realized what a big weight we carry
in our profession.
Another
thing the program has taught me is what a massive field the early childhood is.
Before entering the program, I was not aware of all the organizations and
agencies worldwide working towards a common goal to benefit children. Through
the program, I have become familiar with websites, resources, and agencies that
are advocates of social change and issues affecting children worldwide.
The
third thing I have learned is that there is so much more to explore. As
childhood professionals, we should not become obsolete but keep learning new
things in order to stay abreast.
What I plan for my future............
One
long term goal I have is to become an online instructor and be able to guide
students into being advocates of social change.
Farewell
to my wonderful instructor Dr.Teri who from day 1 took the time and energy to
go the extra mile in not only facilitating the course; but also making it more
challenging for all of us to grow in a professional and personal way.
I
would also like to say farewell to my colleagues who have been with me in this
journey as we complete together a milestone in our lives; although we will go
in different directions, our objective remains the same; TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN A CHILD’S LIFE!!As a mother, I thank all of you for your passion in helping
our younger generation. I have learned so much from all of you and your
experiences through the sharing of class discussions and blogging. I appreciate
every one of you who unknowingly have taught me many things just by reading
your experiences.
I
am sharing my favorite quotes below; all of them have to do with just one very
powerful word; which is my advice to you:
PERSEVERANCE working with all of you
has been a wonderful experience , thank you!!!!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog. It was very informative as well as inspirational. I also have learned the difference educators make in the schools as well as communities. There is so much we can do in the education field. I realize there are so many different ways I can go in education and all of those roads lead to helping our children. Good luck and God bless you in all you endeavor to do.
