Practical Application in the Early Childhood Field

 


In this last course of my program I find myself reflecting over how much every course taken has broaden my perspective on diversity, equality and the many factors that play a role in shaping us into the individuals we are today be it in our personal or professional lives. It is week 1 of EDUC 6990 and much like the other courses I am anxious to learn more !

Hi Violanda, I really like the background of your blog! Just today I was telling my daughter that I need to get another bookcase for all the books that I have!

I like the quote you posted this week. This degree course has made me more aware of not only the need to embrace diversity in others, but how valuable it is to learn from each other.

I look forward to working with you during this course.

Hi Delores,

Thank you :).You are not going to believe this but I have been on the hunt to find two bookshelves just this week. I have books tumbling out of just about everywhere or just laying around. Nothing I have found fits my shabby chic country style home at a reasonable price that is. I like you am excited about what's ahead. I look forward to experiencing the various perspectives on approaching issues in the early childhood field.

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.
