    I really like the "let me win" quote. It speaks to having the confidence to achieve your goals and it says to me, if you don't win you gave it all you got.

Final Blog Lessoms Learned from the International Standpoint Of Early Childhood Education

Image
Looking back over the past eight weeks I must say there has been a lot of important information presented about Early Childhood Education from the International front. I have learned a great deal. The first consequence that I have earned about was the very different different teaching strategies from around the world. The most important years of learning are from birth to 5 years of age. It is so important that we work to bridge the gap with organizations such as UNICEF that are working for the good of all children around the world. The second consequence that  have enhanced my learning was the way that some countries determine who is educated based on their gender. In some countries female children are not offered the same opportunity of an education because of their sex. This should not be. Every child is important and deserve an education.

My Supports

My Supports      I must say that I have a great support system within my life. I must start by talking about April 9 th 2017. On this day I lost one of the biggest and much needed cornerstone of my support system. It is the day I lost my father at church and I could not do anything about it. My father had grown to be an important part of my life. He was my confidant; he was my pastor, my dad when I needed to be his little girl again. My life changed forever on that day. I must say that my mom is the center of my system and my husband and three sons have become my cornerstones now. I can go to my mom with anything and she will help me through it. My husband and sons are there for me no matter what. They have seen me at my best and worst. I am the oldest child so I have had to endure some obstacles from my siblings and others this past year. My church family and my faith are also part of my support system. I can talk to my pastor and first lady about so many ...
