I first found my passion for early childhood education soon after my son was born.

It can be hard to know what one wants to do when they’re older. There are certain things to consider, like a level of interest in the topic, how much information one would already know, how much that will be needed to know, and to take in if this is what one would want to do in their future life. I know for me when I have to think about future plans it can really worry me. I tend to get stressed out, scared, and wanting to avoid the topic entirely, even though in the back of my mind I know I need to stop running away with what I need to currently take care of. It’s a lot like in the tragedy play of Macbeth. There was so much pressure to always be something more. If a right hand man of the king

Before deciding to pursue my Associates Degree in Business Administration I too was trying to receive my degree in Early Childhood Education and Development. I have a 2 year old daughter so I realized my passion for being a mother and I had decided I wanted to teach preschool. My reason for deciding to change my associate degree was for more opportunities for advancement and income. I find it incredible that you are a nanny, it probably takes tons of patience and also extremely fun.

     Preschool is something very important for toddlers. Preschools were established in Europe around the late 1800’s. They were later introduced to the United States in the 1920’s. According to the Encyclopedia of careers and vocational guidance 9th edition “preschools expanded rapidly in the united states during the 1960’s”.

I believe that as an early childhood educator my goal will be to promote the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child. I also believe that play should be the base of learning since children learn best by doing. I believe that a balance between teacher-directed and child-initiated activities is essential balance can be developed by using the developmentally appropriate practice approach, which means that activities should be “appropriate for each child and relevant to the child’s ability, needs and interests, also including the child’s family and being respectful to the child’s culture.

Early childhood is a time of curiosity, a time for play, and a time of rapid development. Every child is unique and deserving of an early childhood education that facilitates academic, social, and developmental growth through a variety of enjoyable experiences. Differentiated instruction adapts content, products and processes to meet the diverse learning needs and preferences of students (Thousand, Villa, & Nevin, 2007). Friedrich Froebel, the creator of Kindergarten, believed that children grow and learn as they play (Bruno, 2009). Play-based instruction not only enables young learners to have fun, but it also encourages interactive and cooperative learning, passion for discovery, and a foundation for later learning experiences

I did not previously intend to graduate early but due to circumstances beyond my control, I decided it would be best for me to use the time I would spend in my second semester working and setting aside money for college. I had most of my graduation requirements completed from my previous high school and by the time I enrolled in my current high school many of the classes I had planned to take were already filled.

Within the realm of education, the expectation is that educators are growing personally within their own lives and professions in which will assist them in reaching the lives of their student/learners effectively. This growth is receive by professional development in which the educator studies, learns, changes, and becomes more professional overtime..The professional development process, for me, is always ongoing being as though I am very young. The way I will achieve my pathway goals is getting my masters degree in education, go to various trainings, and join an early childhood professional organization.

Brad Henry claims that “A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.” Teaching is something that I see as one of the most important jobs that you can have.

With my creative mind and kind-heart, majoring in Early Childhood Education and pursuing a career as a teacher will be enjoyable and is the perfect fit for me.

Becoming a preschool teacher has been a goal of mine ever since I discovered my passion for teaching young children. The person I chose to interview for this assignment was my best friends’ sister, Karla Rodriguez. Miss. Rodriguez was involved in a program during her high school years that was made for aspiring teachers. With her many years of experience in a classroom setting and more than one hundred hours of interning at an elementary school, she has become a preschool teacher who dedicates herself to instilling the first basic foundations for many children who will eventually go on to college and create a life of their own. My main goal in life is to get a job that will help me grow as a person professionally. I want to enjoy doing what I do and not feel as if I am going to work every day. I want to be a preschool teacher because I know I have the dedication to offer students a good education and I also have a love for children. In addition, I will make a good living from the career while also doing something that I love.

I want to become someone who teaches, an educator, a role model, a teacher. I want to help children in their early childhood education.

They feel welcomed and at home. For these certain kids it is their one place of stability where they are always guaranteed to be loved and get fed and to have fun. I enjoy watching kids grow and helping them develop their learning skills. Every kid needs a good education and I want to be the one giving them that good education. I want to make a difference in their lives and prepare them for the road ahead.

Early education for children is very crucial as it helps shape up the foundation of their knowledge and behavior development process. Children begin to develop the sense of curiosity from the age of two.
