Professional hopes and goals

One hope for educators in the field of early childhood to allow children to experience the diversity in the classroom environment.
If educators are willing to go the extra mile of including students, family members and the community regarding diversity in their local area, this will help educate awareness about diversity. Awareness of diversity can be displayed in our local facilities, schools, and community agreements and disagreements; most important working together.

I believe as a young educator in the field of early childhood is to incorporate as many the culture, family structure, values, ethnicity, and other significant factors about diversity as you know it. I'm eager to hear from another point of view about diversity in the environment we live in.

One goal for the educator is to set aside adversities regarding equality and justice.
It is important for educators to help promote diversity, equality and social justice with Working Families through education. Family members that understand their child's interest, are positioning their future with great impact on learning. If parents are willing to have an open mindset of learning with the educator or teacher, they are creating a trustworthy bond of opportunities of self-worth and self-image that contributes to the field of Early Childhood experience.

I believe that Educators in the field of Early Childhood can advocate for equality and justice with any facility. (School, daycare, home provider). I believe it's important to be open and honest when dealing with parents, staff, community regarding any children's expectation or belonging. (International or residence).

To my colleagues:
Life is like a box of chocolates, however, don't eat them all in one sitting. The Journey of earning your MS. in Early Childhood Starts Now, be proactive, be encouraged most important to be faithful to your audience. The countdown to graduation is near, be patient, be willing, be vigilant!

The Personal Side of Bias, Prejudice, and Oppression

Throughout this week we have been discussing biases and prejudice in regards to sex, gender, and age. I would say that I have experience prejudgment (or judge) because of my colored of skin. My experience that I share with my colleagues regarding High School experience can fall under prejudgment, microaggression and unfair incidence of being misrepresentative.

The scenario was, my friend was six foot one African-American and I was five foot nine same ethnicity. We were at a football game and my friend took something from a white woman and I was blamed for the incident. Socially and emotionally this can leave a scar, that spirals bad behavior such as crime, drugs and other behaviors that are not appropriate because of this incident. in many cases, you are left with two decisions to respond or known as the fork in the road the positive behavior or the negative behavior. Something inside me told me to persevere this incident and focus on the positive behaviors and don't blame someone else for their misinterpretation or false doing. Unfortunately, this was an opportunity to evaluate other people's opinions, thoughts, and suggestions about some ethnicity, age sex, and gender. (Arsenio Hall, used to say things that make you go mmm).

My expression back then and now to always be mindful of other people's ethnicity without assuming anything. (Behavior, age, sex or gender). Always be honest, and transparent when discussing feelings that may strike a conflict issue that someone may not agree upon. Always seek to understand what the other person experience, outside of your own experience. Being proactive if a touchy topic or issue comes across with dignity in-class conversations. Be vulnerable, to ask questions or concerns rather than assuming expectations. Last but not least, be humble with yourself knowing who you are and what you stand for; in faith, expectation, self-worth and beyond.

I have experience working with many teachers in the educational field, one particular teacher that stood out from the rest was a PE teacher in Middle School. This teacher took the time to share with me African American cultural values, expectations and role models for other African American children who suffer and struggle. At the time I was absorbing all this information and now I'm waiting to become a professor to teach young adults
