Professional Hopes and Goals

• One hope that you have when you think about working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds (any format and any length)

I hope that we can all come together and show support and respect for one another because no matter what every race, culture, ethnicity and social background will always possess differences. I hope that we can all figure out who we are, and establish a healthy and positive self awareness, be open to receiving help and support from others (EC professionals) and also be willing to grow and accept constructive criticism and redirection.

• One goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issues of diversity, equity, and social justice (any format and any length)

One goal that I would like to set for early childhood field related issues of diversity, equity, and social justice is to use my voice to establish relationships and alliances to be an activist that will push to assure that all children have access to the educational, medical and nutritional resources they need to thrive in regardless of race, ability, gender identity, class, socioeconomic background or culture. 

I would like to thank my professor and colleagues for reading my post over the last 8 weeks and commenting positive and helpful feedback. I hope that everyone continues to grow in research and ample knowledge as we continue on through the journey of becoming the best advocates and activist for youth and families locally as well as nationally.
