Professional Hopes and Goals

I hope that as I continue to work with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds, I will continue to grow from the life experiences that I’ve had and learn from the experiences of others as well. I hope to continue to learn by listening and being open-minded to change. Nothing stays the same. We have seen that this week with the ruling on two very monumental pieces of legislation: parts of the voting rights act being overturned and the Supreme Court recognizing same sex marriage.

One goal that I would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice would be to be “to be the change that you want to see in the world”.-Ghandi Change starts with us!

Goodbye!

It has been a pleasure working with everyone. Thanks for your support and your honesty. This has been one of my favorite classes so far. We really dug into some tough subjects but it seemed like we were able to pull from our own experiences to share.  I wish you all well as we continue our program here at Walden. Good luck and enjoy the rest of the summer.

  1. Thank You so much for sharing with us over this course. I think that quote from Ghandi is so fitting in this case. It does start with us and we have to be the change. Wishing you much luck in the future!
