Professional Hopes and Goals

Professional Hopes and Goals

My most significant hope for working with families of diverse backgrounds is that I can make them feel comfortable asking questions that pertain to the well-being of their children. I want all parents to have a voice for their children and to know that they are their children's biggest advocate. I hope that all parents will know and understand that I am not here to judge them in any way.

It seems overwhelming to write that my goal for the early childhood field, in relation to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice, is to have world peace. However, I feel that if I start in my little corner of the world, then I am adding to an overall better place to live.

Thank you to my colleagues this semester for you openness and honesty in regards to the tough topic of diversity. I know that with new knowledge and the personal stories from you, I have gained a better understanding about races, ethnicities, cultures and customs that I did not know before this class.
