Through this program I learned that I have a lot to offer young
children and families. I feel with the help of my Capstone project I now have
so many reliable web resources, and organizations that work toward the
well-being of all children. Therefore, with these resources, and organization I
can continue to help others with just about any issue that may arise when
working with young children, and their families. I also learned a lot more
about myself through learning about my biases and the biases of others. I learned
that I may think I am treating a family or child with respect through the way I
was raised to show respect to others, but I have to remember that everyone’s
upbringing is different. Therefore, as an early childhood professional I now
know that I have to learn more about a family and their child before I can
think that the child is being disrespectful when he/she say something or do
something that I may think is inappropriate. I also learned how important positive
feedback can be from our instructors and colleagues. I believe when you get
feedback, and take it in a positive way you grow so much more on a professional,
and personal level. Last but not least I also learned that even though our
colleagues are online colleagues they become a part of an online family that is
always there when you need them.
My most important long-term goal is to help others grow. Over
these last few years I have had so many people stand behind me in giving me the
confidence, and moral support I needed in knowing that I could accomplish my
Master’s degree. Therefore my goal is to encourage, and strengthen those I
know, and do not know to be strong and know that they too have someone standing
behind them cheering them on in whatever they are trying to accomplish.
In pursuing my Master’s degree in Early Childhood I really have to
thank Walden University for being there for me 100%. I cannot even explain how
wonderful my experience was from the start to the finish. Moreover, I cannot
believe WE MADE IT! So, THANK
YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Everyone for the positive interaction, your thoughtful words on the discussion
boards, and weekly blogs. And remember
WE DID THIS TOGETHER!
Hello Edith,
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful how a program like this one was able to see other part of us; I could not believe that I would be able to have a blog, do a research like this one and even meet wonderful people. You are right there are so many ways we can help a child in need, we prove that by the way we conduct our Capstone project and our passion and part of us was left imprinted on those few pieces of paper. You are also right when it comes to learn more, not only as a teacher, but as a human. We should always keep growing and improve our teaching methods; it will be great for the children, family, community and us as well.
Edith,
