TIME WELL SPENT

Deeply felt learnings from this program

I will strive to effect change in the lives of the children I teach. To teach as if my life depended on it, constantly aware of the impact and influence I will have on a child's experience and life. To be committed to excellence, equality, and quality in Early Childhood Education, treating all students equally and fairly.

To incorporate communication and with students from other countries into the student curriculum. When children are aware of the world around them, they become more sensitive to issues of diversity, which will in turn help them become well rounded positive contributing members of society.

The support and active participation of community: Parents, Teachers, Community Leaders, Clergy, nonprofit organizations, and medical professionals is vital in the nurturing and the academic, social/emotional, and physical development of a child.

Long-term goals

To be self employed as an owner and director of a high quality Early Childhood Learning Center for ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. Taking everything I’ve learned at Walden University and putting it into practice. The center would be in an at-risk community where I would give back to the community by hiring local qualified caretakers and educators. The center’s mission, goals, and vision would be centered around evidenced based practice / research, and excellence and equity in Early Childhood Education.

Giving back: Create a scholarship fund for at-risk high school students to attend college to study early childhood education. This will be given in the name of the Early Childhood Learning Center.

Farewell message

“If I can help somebody as I travel along the road, then my living will not be in vain.” Dare to be different! May you build careers worth having, businesses worth owning, and lives worth living. Good luck to everyone!
