When it comes to children and
families I hope that people embrace others from diverse backgrounds. Diverse
backgrounds is what makes everyone unique in their own special way. Children
and families from diverse backgrounds should be respected and seen as equals. I
think that they should get just as much support as their other peers and should
not be shut out from various resources and opportunities. Don’t let stereotypes
keep you from getting to know a person and you may be surprised at what a great
friend you can make in the future whether they are a child, family member, or
someone you just happen to meet.
One goal I would like to set for
early childhood field in regards to issues and diversity, equity, and social
justice is to always do your best when it comes to what all children and
families in these topics. Let your passion to make change drive you to your
ultimate goal. Realize that you do make mistakes and that is okay. Ask for help
when needed and always put families and children at the top of your priority
list.
I am also very thankful to my
colleagues for being such a great support to me and from letting me learn from
them as well. I have enjoyed working with you all and I wish you all much
success in future courses!
Angel, I enjoyed reading your post.i can really appreciate your statements about doing your best and following your passion. I think this applies universally, not just in the early childhood field. It is so important to let our passion drive us! Thank you for reminding me of the importance of that.
