As a EC professional I have one hope when thinking of working with families and childeren of diverse culture. This one hope is that I can position myself to learn as much as I can and I present myself to these families as being concerned and excited about learning about who they are. One goal that I have pertaining to diversity in early childhood is that I can show children how to genuinely appreciate each other and learn how they are all a part of the puzzle and without each other it is impossible to by whole.
I really appreciate this class and my colleagues for all the excellent information that was shared. I also appreciate Dr. Anthony Morgan for being so patient with me in my transitions.
I hope to see everyone in my next class and if not I hope to see everyone in graduation. Congratulations in advance on everyone academic journey.
