Blog Assignment: Time Well Spent

Blog Assignment:  Time Well Spent

My favorite quote is:

“I continue to believe that if children are given the necessary tools to succeed, they will succeed beyond their wildest dream”.
By: David Vitter, U.S. Senator

This has been a great journey. I began this program thinking that I knew everything it was to know about the early childhood field and this would be just a recap of what I already knew. I found that I did not know what I thought I knew.  I take away from this program knowing there are a lot of other professionals that share the passion for children. I learn the importance of getting pass ones’ own biases and providing children with the best quality care.  Lastly, I learn how important it is to surround yourself with people or the ideal communities of practice that can help you succeed in the early childhood field.

One of my long term goals is to continue my journey and do all I can to make sure children and families receive the best quality of care possible.

To my instructor Dr. Davis and my fellow colleagues it has been a great journey. I have learned so much throughout this program. Many things have happen on this journey, but I have continued to move forward and finally have come to the end. I never thought I would complete this program, but through the encouragement of my family and friends I made it. I wish my colleagues much success and good luck to you all.

Job opportunities
It would be great to go into countries and volunteer and work with children who are in need.

I think the skill that I am learning within the Master Program would help me in education of the young children. Other aspects I would work with other volunteers and find what I can do help the children who are in need.

Our commitment to partnerships at every level and our multidisciplinary approach enable us to have lasting impactpact for the individuals, communities and countries we serve
