This has been an amazing experience. In 2011, I was unsure about what I was getting myself into. I even tried to find reasons not to continue the program. Now that I have learned and accomplished so much, I am beyond grateful that I finished what I started. There have been areas in this journey that have been weaker than others but from receiving feedback from the instructors and fellow colleagues, I have gotten stronger in those aspects.
Throughout this journey there has been a lot to take in but everything that we have learned focused on children and advocacy. What I have deeply learned is that bias is within everyone. Beginning this class, I has biases and did not even realize it until it was brought to me attention. Biases are not intentional but people have them because of the way they were brought up.
Another factor that has impacted me are the wide range of policies, including those directed toward early care and
education, and family economic supports, that can promote the safe,
supportive, and stable, caring relationships that children need. Our children just need caring professionals to make sure they are getting the education that is deserving.
Lastly, intervention is very important in this profession. In society, we cannot afford to postpone investing in children until they reach school age, it may be too late by then. Investing and intervening in children while they are young will improve basic learning and socialization skills.
One long-term goal is to open a community based school. Community schools, offers students ways to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for success in adulthood.
To my instructor and colleagues,
Thanks so much for all the input you have given throughout this course for it has helped me to understand from a different perspective. Getting feedback and insight from others create new ideas and new areas of interest. I am deeply satisfied with all of the great work that I have witnessed of you guys and hope to keep in touch in years to come.
God Bless!
