It is always a great feeling to know that there are people in the world
that have good qualities. I have enjoyed learning about the early childhood
field since I started my studies a few years ago. Today I am well equipped with
knowledge about young children and the families, teachers, and other early childhood
professionals that support those children and their families. I am blessed to
be a member of the ECE community and privileged to have meet people like you
that help foster my education and learning experiences. Childhood does not
discriminate, it is the people of this world that put biases that cause
conflict in early childhood and early childhood education. I have become a
better communicator for the children and you all have contributed to my
learning experiences whether it was in this class or another, whether we communicate
online, in the classroom or from across the world, we are one.
I would especially like to thank Dr. Hampshire for bring new ideas and
information about how we communicate with child, teachers, and all the people
we encounter in a lifetime. As a result of this class which has made me a
better communicator, I would like to thank my colleagues for your share
experiences, the strength you have added to my courage, and all your well
wishes. In this class and all the classes I have conquered up to this point in
my studies, I pray for better tomorrows and thank God for my past experiences
that which has brought me to this point in my life. Just for today my life is
evolving to the person that I have always wanted to be, helping children and
supporting the families of those children and to bettering my community.
I encourage each of you to continue doing what works for you. Whether it
is childcare, early education or being an advocate for young children, do your
best. We may not solve all the problems or be able to reach all the children we
encounter but the hope is in the effort we put forth. We cannot save the world
but we can contribute to the well-being of children one child at a time. Thank
You!
