Time Well Spent !!!!

 



 





In the past year and a half I have learned to identify my own possible biases, better ways to communicate with children, their families and others in my professional life, and I have learned being an educator does not stop in a classroom. 
One long-term goal that I have as it relates to early childhood education is to grow my relationships with the children and families in my community so that I can better understand their needs in and outside of the class so that I can fully reach the total child and make a lasting impact on them as to provide them with a passion to develop into well balanced individuals that grow into adults who will contribute to future generations developmental needs. 
I am grateful for all of the support, feedback and connections I have been given from everyone in this program. Every discussion and blog has given me a unique perspective on children, their needs and how I can better utilize my peers, administration along with local and state officials to provide additional support for children and their families. I wish everyone all the best in the next chapter of your journey in bringing a quality learning environment to the children and families in your community.
CONGRATUALTIONS EVERYONE - WE DID IT !!!!

Hi Violanda, Congrats on completing your MS ECS program!!!! It has been a pleasure interacting with your during the last 8 weeks. Thank you for sharing your expertise and support throughout this course. I have learned so much from you and others who work in the ECE field. I love the Nelson Mandela quote. I think this is something that I really learned throughout my studies in the program. Wow, how exciting to know that WE have the power to create an education system where all children have access to a good education! I wish you all the best as you bring your capstone project to fruition and continue to advocate for young children!

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.
