Professional Hopes and Goals

I must say that this course have been a pleasurable and knowable experience for me. I have gained so much from the course material, instructor and my classmates that has motivated me to continue my work education and advocating for children and families. One of the things I hope to accomplish when working with children and families is that I will have made a difference or impact their lives. I want them to feel secure, confident and respected when they are around me and honestly know that I have their best interest at heart. One of my goals as it relates to the early childhood field is to create a welcoming environment where all children and families feel welcome, safe, respected and exceptional care. As this chapter in our journey ends, we leave this class with so much information that we can share with others on what an anti-bias education and what it should be for children and families (Derman- Sparks & Edwards, 2010). I thank you all so much for sharing your life experiences and expertise. I wish you well and pray that the work we continue to do touch lives that will eventually change the world.
