Professional Hopes and Goals

My hope is to speak about our differences with children and families and show a desire to learn them and appreciate them as a good role model. This might not sound big but I believe that it will have a big impact on children. I have been learning that children are creatures which are naturally disposed to learn and think about what they see in daily life. For example, my daughter made a mouse cage with a running-wheel by arranging her toys creatively:  She used a kitchen pan and a box of blocks.  She did this on the same day my family visited a garage sale where she saw a real mouse cage on sale. I would like to stimulate children’s curiosities for differences and potentials to see them equally in the daily setting.

I would like to contribute to the working environment and classrooms where people talk about differences of us and things people feel are inequity. Since I learned a lot of insights and became aware of issues of diversity, equity, and social justice, I would like to pass them to other people and create opportunities for people to think about these issues.

To my colleagues,

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. I am always motivated and supported by your diligence and common desire to make the early childhood field a better place for children and families. I hope we will see one another again in future courses and I also wish you good luck in all you do.
