Personal Childhood Web

  My mother was a strong person who put my siblings and me through Catholic School.  She believed that education was important for children. I have a close, yet dependent relationship with my mother because of her provisions.  She worked to provide for my siblings and me.  My grandparents would babysit us while my mom went to work and nursing school.  This relationship was also dependent, but nurturing because they would read to my sibling and me and take us to and from school.  My godparents on the other hand, and my older cousins would assist with babysitting.  They nurtured me because they would assist my siblings and me with my homework, and they would play games with us as well.
Currently, my family influences me and impacts me, and they continue to impact my present life because they are always supportive of me.  For example, when I received my associate’s degree, my bachelor’s degree, and my first master’s degree, my family were very proud of me.  They are always there as they continue to support my development through our social interactions and for emotional support.  If it was not for my support system, I do not believe I would have valued education as much as I do, and I do not believe that I would have made this far in achieving my goals.  Despite their love and care for me throughout my life, we have an interdependent relationship amongst each other, for we always support each other at all times.

    It is so wonderful to hear that you have so many supporting your dreams and aspirations. I do believe that it take a village to raise a child and I believe it takes the support of a family to help one person succeed. I think families balance each other out and help each other out just as they support you im sure you support them in their endeavors as well. Very blessed to have such a great family. Congradulations on getting your first masters degree, Im sure your second masters will be that much sweeter!

Professional Goals, Hopes and Dreams

One of the new insights that I gained in relation to international early childhood education that relate to my professional goals is to be a leader in my community, for I want to own a daycare center.  That way, all children would be able to receive an education.  According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (2011), “The Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2011 noted that 7.3 million primary school-aged children in Pakistan were out-of-school in 2008 (UNESCO, 2011), the majority of whom were girls” (cited in Mahmud, 2014, p. 6).  Unfortunately, it can be implied that in Pakistan, many children are not obtaining the knowledge they need to move forward in their education.  If I had my own daycare center, I would make sure that every child in my community would receive some type of schooling so that they are not lacking the foundation necessary to aide in their development.  While I plan to take the initiative as a leade...

Final Blog Assignment

There are many outcomes that I gleaned from learning about the early childhood field from an international perspective.  For instance, according to Hale (2014), there are three consequences that early childhood practitioners learn about how the field is enduring overseas.  She writes, The first consequence of learning about the international early childhood field is that as early childhood educators, we live in a world that calls for continuous change, and therefore, information on best practices and best policies can be utilized throughout the world.  The second consequence of learning about the international childhood field is that having an awareness has to be developed.  When early childhood practitioners are unaware of their students, the students’ families, and of themselves, then the opportunity for discussion and growth cannot be established so that all parties understand the willingness to be invested in children’s development and children’s education....

Examining Codes of Ethics

NAEYC code: I-1.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training. This code is significant to my professional life because field of early childhood education, the best practices and information utilized to educate young children continues to change.  I have been in the early childhood education profession for almost 20 years, and because my professional goal is to own a daycare center, I have to stay informed of the changes in practices and techniques needed in the early childhood so I can provide young children with the education they need to progress in their academic journey. NAEYC code: I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.  This ideal is important to my professional life because as an early childhood education professional, teachers must be able to recognize that   each child is unique and different. When working ...
