“I think... if it is true that
there are as many minds as there
are heads, then there are as many
kinds of love as there are hearts.”
Throughout
this program, I have learned many lessons. There are, however, three lessons
that have impacted me very deeply. The first lesson that was learned that
impacted me very deeply is that differences need to be embraced, shared, and
cultivated within the early childhood environment. The second lesion that was
learned that impacted me very deeply is that one person can make a difference
even is he or she does not believe so. The final lesson that was learned that
impacted me very deeply is that early childhood educators, children, and care
givers all need to be reminded of the importance of an anti-biased environment and
educated about anti-bias education on a regular basis. Essentially, all of us
never stop learning or growing.
Looking
forward, there is one long-term goal that I have established. That goal is to
continuing to learn, question, and grow. In order to have a positive impact on
the field of early childhood, it is essential for other professionals and I to
remain humble, curious, and inquisitive on how we can maximum the potential of
all young children.
In closing, I
would like to say “thank you” to everyone in this class and the program that
have assisted me in the process of learning, growth, and development. I also
wish Professor Davis and everyone in the class the best of luck in their
personal and professional lives now and in the future. This program has been
challenging, eye opening, and educational all at the same time. Not only am I
thankful for this experience, but better for it.
