Professional Hopes and Goals

Working with children is a very hard task to do, but it is also rewarding. When dealing with a lot of children you get a mixture of families and their attitude and beliefs. As an educator it is important for us to embrace all children and their families, so no one feels like an outcast. Everyone wants to be understood no matter what their background consist of. Often time’s young children do not even know or understand that their friends are different from them. With me being a center director of a child care, I have to embarrass families with many different backgrounds and cultures. I take all that I have learned in this course and use it to its full advantage because my families are humans just like me at the end of the day regardless if they are different. My goal after completing this course is to incorporate trainings for my staff regarding families and their children, and how to be accepting of what might come their way.

These past 8 weeks have been so much fun for me because I really feel I have learned a lot about myself that I never thought of. I enjoyed reading the post of my colleagues and seeing what life was like for them in a diver’s world. Thank you to everyone for sharing their stories and allowing us to become a part of your lives.
