Hi Violanda, I really enjoyed reading the quotes you selected for this week's assignment. I quote by Sandy Escobido, "We as professionals in the early childhood field have the opportunity to shape a child's life for the better." was fascinating and very true. As educators, it is our duty to be able to pour something valuable into the lives of the children we teach. During school, especially during the early stages, the children are sponges looking to absorb all we have to provide. It is our responsibility to make sure we are creating a solid learning foundation, allowing them to build more and more each day, month, and year.

Thank you Gigi, I believe that video and hearing what has motivated other educators to continue giving there best and finding new ways to pour into children and their learning is inspiring.

Passion is becoming more and more relevant to a person’s success. It serves as the spark to light the fire
that will burn in a practitioner’s heart to tirelessly work for children. No matter what challenges they may
face, if they truly love and are truly passionate about what they do, the practitioners will always give their
best.

Personal Childhood Web

I have such a long list of people who have made a great impact on my life as a child. My mother is 1 of 10 children and my father is 1 of 12. However, the five people I must name are my mom, my father, my granny, my little brother Kelvin and my English teacher Mrs. Wells. For my mothers' family I am the oldest grandchild. That is a interesting role to have. Everyone looks to you for your first everything. Everyone wants to show you so much and it has all been useful at some point in my life. My aunts and uncles on both sides taught me a great deal. If I were to sum it up I would say that it equated to love and happiness. I was given so much love and support and as I got older I got better with being able to demonstrate the same love and support. My happiness was genuinely their happiness. From cooking to fishing to picking cotton I got to experience the things I encountered in my life by my choice.
My granny was and is my nurse, my ear, my box of all things good.
My brother was my first responsibility and confidant. I value the bond that was created between he and I.
I can say that every teacher that I had growing up had a positive impact on my life as well. My English teacher Mrs. Wells more so as she had been around to teach a few of my aunts and uncles. From the moment she discovered who my family was it became an automatic expectation of hers that I set an example with the others around me in how to speak and carry oneself. This is still something I feel I carry with me today.
