Inspirations come from many avenues. My inspiration came when I was 16 years old in the form of a 3 pound baby boy measuring the length of a ruler. Being a young adolescent myself, this was a very trying time for me. My son was born almost three months early and could very easily have not survived. The birth of my first child is what changed my life forever and shaped me into the person I am today. At the age of seventeen I was attending high school, being a mother to my son, and working away from home as a waitress; all the while missing my little boy beyond words. I knew right then what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to watch my son grow. I wanted to not only be his mother but also his teacher. As my life moved forward my family grew. I was lucky enough to have the privilege to stay at home with my children. During this time I decided that caring for children and helping them grow was what I wanted to do. I started doing child care for a few of my friend’s children and absolutely fell in love with it. This is what I have always done and is something that has always come completely natural to me. Being responsible for a child’s growth while watching them learn and mature right before my eyes is an amazing feeling and a blessing. My children are now all in school full time which has me feeling ready to share the passion I have in caring for, nurturing, and teaching children with others. After I complete my CDA coursework my goal is to become a preschool teacher. I feel with current education with child development and the love I have for watching children’s developmental growth this will be a great future for me.

    Several factors that have contributed to my interest in Early Childhood Education have been my time as a volunteer, both my mother and grandmother, and the fact that you are able to inspire an entire generation of children. While volunteering at Nestucca Valley Elementary school I worked in Susan O’Leary and Dana Hulbert’s classrooms. During my time in their classrooms, I learned that I worked extremely well with a variety of students and was able to show compassion and patience with the most challenging students. My greatest inspiration for going into this career has been both my…

    Throughout my high school years I took Child Development courses and worked as a student worker with at risk families with children from birth to three years of age. Shortly after my marriage I worked with preschoolers in my school district’s Pre-K Center. That was such a rewarding time for me. I continued to work there until the birth of our daughter. That’s when I decided to be a stay at home mom to teach/play with her and bond being my child’s first teacher. A few years later my second and last child came along. I sure found out how different children/siblings are. Now, I try to remember that we are all made from a different mold.…

    My father’s parents were born in a small village in the Peloponnese. They were kind and humble people that eventually made their way to Athens. My mother’s parents were born in Kafkaso, a town in Minor Asia, which at that time belonged to Greece. With the war of 1921, the Turks forced my mother’s parents to flee to Athens. They were wealthy and proud, as were many Pontian Greeks at that time. Both of my parents were born in Athens in the fifties. My mother left Athens in 1969, America bound and my father followed soon after.…

    I have come a long way down my road of knowledge and learning of English throughout my life and it has taken me places and shown me things I would have never expected when I first started out on this long journey, and it includes things that most other student’s do not.

    When I first saw in the syllabus the type of paper we would be writing for this course I thought about what culture means to me. What was the culture of my family? Where did we come from? How did we end up in Virginia? How did we end up believing some of the things we believe? To me culture was basically how I was raised—my behaviors, beliefs, values, and ideas cultivated during my youth and its evolvement as I grew into an adult. This truly was to be a very interesting and involved quest for information. Though I attempted to use websites such as www.genealogy.com and www.ancestry.com, I found most of the information from a couple of the adults in my family. Adults? I, too, am an adult, but in my family, age comes before everything; and because I am younger, I am treated as such and am expected to behave a certain manner towards the elders in my family. So begins the learning of the nature of my familial circle!…

    When I started college, I had no idea what direction I wanted to go. There were so many possibilities: business, the arts, nursing, etc. All I knew was that I wanted to enjoy my career. I didn’t want to fight to get up every morning in order to make myself go to work. I finally realized where my heart was set when I began working at a summer camp in 2008. I worked with third grade and loved every moment of it. I have worked with different age groups over the last few years and have come to realize that I love working with children. This is how I figured out what I wanted to do.…

    Sir Frances Bacon said, “If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of the world, and his heart is no island cut off from other islands, but a continent that joins them,” (Jenkins, 1994). This quote represents all the core values that I cherish and to which I adhere. Personal culture doesn’t have to be linked to a certain country of origin or a specific ethnicity; it can be as simple as a person’s core values. The Southern way of life is a culture all in itself.…

    Throughout my teenage years I always felt that I was missing out on High School events, for instance; football games, dances, parades, etc. because I was always babysitting.

Watching other children over the years I’ve learned a great quantity on how to take care of them and I would love to continue on learning how to take care, love and help raise them. That’s why I want to major in nursing then make my way to be a pediatrician.…
