“My Passion”

The Early Childhood field gives me a deep passion about each child’s happiness, growth, and their safety as well.

A Touching Moment

While completing a field experience in the  Early Childhood field I had a great privilege to work with a student that was unable to walk. The student touched me in many different ways. Even though the student was unable to walk he still was able to interact with the other students and be involved in all planned activities. The student had a positive outlook on every situation.

Image of A Child's Drawing

I chose this child’s drawing because it illustrates a good image of a family.  It is important that children grow up in a happy home with parents and or siblings.  In early childhood parents play a vital role in their child’s education. I strongly believe that when a child’s family is involved in their education process the student become more successful. On the other hand, drawing also allows a child to express him or herself.

“My Favorite Children’s Book”

The Little Engine That Could

The Little Engine That Could is my favorite childhood book. The content of this book taught me the value of hard work and dedication. I was deeply influenced that I can do whatever I put my mind to.I come to realize that if I can believe it, I can achieve it. I really love this book.



“I THINK I CAN”
