Professional goal and aspiration: For Early Childhood Studies and Development
Degree and specialization:
My degree is in MS in Early Childhood Studies specializing in teaching adults in the early childhood field.
Personal/Professional Goals:
Holistically, looking at the way that children are being taught in this economy and around in different areas, it is extremely important that I do everything I can to instruct and teach. My goal is to open my learning center whether it is in the rural areas or in the inner-city. In this learning facility I want to re-introduce activities of daily living and cognitive development on a more spiritual level, not using religion as a bias or basis. My personal goal is to get my PhD in cultural relations by the time I am 45 years old.
Academic Experience, Work /Other Experience:
Most of the experience that I have in early childhood education has been hands-on. I took a few psychology classes that dealt with the early cognitive development, personality and so forth because I wanted to work with children that had deficiencies in cognitive function, social interaction and fine motor control. The first job that I worked at in childcare is “V.I.P Childhood Learning Center in Lexington Kentucky in 2005 to 2006. It was through a good friend that I first start learning about childhood development and how to facilitate it in any center that I go to. After moving on to greater horizons, I worked at “Children’s Tree House of Knowledge” where I was an Assistant Teacher and learned the essential duties of full-time teacher but without all the hassle of classroom time and stress.
Why Childhood Education?
I chose this profession because teaching and healing of the consciousness is one area in which I am strong in and don’t plan on letting up until I can make a difference somewhere, somehow. I don’t plan on being a Martin Luther King Jr., I am far from that not in the sense of having peace as a foundation, it’s the way I look at my children and work hard at them growing up overstanding that life is worth more than just a paycheck, or what a car looks like, or what size your house is. Life as we know it is changing, the education and quality of education is changing and I think that it will benefit children no matter where they are that there are teachers out here that really do care about how their heads are taken care of. Notice I didn’t not say programmed because we are not robots or androids. In order for the teachers to reclaim their importance, they have to start thinking differently about how to teach the children that are coming into the world.
Another addition to my goals and plans are to get children dressed for self-sufficiency with integrity and respect for their elders and teaching the elders that they don’t have to be afraid to discipline, as long as it doesn’t defy logic and reasoning. Again, we all have our ways that we would like to teach our children and see them grow up successful in life. But the truth of the matter is, as long as we let the world rule our senses, then the classroom and what it stands for will cease to have a function. I won’t make any promises to myself about the classes that I will be taken because these classes are designed to reflect other’s opinions in the realm of teaching education. Lets be honest, every book that we read is just someone’s opinion on what they have seen or learned along the way of their personal development in this profession. Where the creativity comes in is when one can take those outside influences and come up with a plan to put it all together and make it work and that is my plan and goal.
