Early Childhood Educator
Since I was a child, I wanted to become a teacher. After graduating from high school, I was presented with the opportunity to become a teaching assistant; I happily accepted and I am now enjoying my tenure. However, I have recently decided to specialize in the field and become an Early Childhood Educator. In order to fulfill this dream, I need to earn my Bachelor’s Degree, but this comes with a cost. As a low-income teaching assistant, I struggle to pay my way through college. In addition to tuition fees, I need to budget for my fifteen-month-old daughter, groceries, utility bills, and transportation costs. It is a daily trial. In spite of these difficulties, I will persevere and achieve my goal of becoming an Early Childhood Educator. I will

    Positive Role Model

    As a single mother of four children, it is my responsibility to be a positive role model for them. One of my roles is instilling how vital a college education is towards their future, which was problematic since I lacked one myself. Therefore, because children learn through example, making the decision to acquire a college degree was a necessary choice. The challenge began when it was time to decide what field of study to target, what type of school to attend, and where I envisioned myself in the future.…

    Early Childhood Education Case Study

    In order for school leaders to be effective administrators in today’s public schools there are many events within the history of American education they need to understand and know. It is important, as a leader, to know how the public school system has evolved over the years, and understand why current and past laws have been put in place. They also need to know the history behind early childhood and secondary education to understand why things vary between the two. Leaders need to also understand the history and experiences of the diverse cultures within their schools.…

    Vanessa Reyes Preciado: Personal Statement

    Since I was initially a nursing student when I entered college, I had never considered becoming a teacher. Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted a career where I could serve others, and I always believed that being a nurse would allow me to achieve this goal. Still, I fell in love with the education field the moment I started volunteering and aiding in my aunt's classrooms, which they taught grades TK– 4. I immediately changed my major because it makes me feel extremely fortunate to think that one day I would be able to teach, laugh, and help my kids in the same manner that my aunts do. To begin with, I worked as a student intern, as a tutor for the Advancement Via Individual Determination program for four years.…

    Cristina's Paper

    After volunteering in my children’s classrooms for years, I decided I would go to school to at least become a teacher’s aid. At the time I had met a teacher, Mrs. Zinno I told her my plans of becoming a teachers aid, she suggested that if I was going to go back to school for two years just to be an aid, why not go for another two years and become a teacher. I did alternative certification to become a paraprofessional or a teacher’s aide. When I completed my paraprofessional certification I still felt that it was just not enough. The words of Mrs. Zinno stuck in my head, I knew if I could complete this I could keep going; I set my goals higher. I attended Tarrant County College and received my Associates Degree; then I thought, “why stop here?” So, I continued to work on an Associates in Education.…

    Early Childhood

    Sharon is a 6 month, 185 lbs. healthy woman. She presents with no problems during the pregnancy. She is concern with exercise that will help in the development of her baby and keep her healthy though out the duration of her pregnancy. The plan that I have suggested for her would include walking, swimming, and low pressure aerobics or yoga. All of these exercise will not only benefit her baby but also benefit her as well. Walking was one of the exercises that was suggested. Simply walking 1 to 2 miles per day or something as counting your steps can improve the circulation in the body, increase the cardio system as well as keep her in shape during the pregnancy. This will also aid the delivery process, it allows Mother Nature to do her thing and shift the baby in the downward position for birth. It will aid in making the laboring process easier for some mother and some it will not. The walking keeps the mother fit and healthy during and after having the baby. Swimming is another relaxing exercise that was suggested to the mother. When the body is under water it feels weightless and therefore giving some women a lift off on some well need places on her body during this time. Performing simple strokes with the arms and legs is good for the circulation that many women suffer from during pregnancy. The need for some women to get the feeling that the weight has been lifted if only for a few minutes is a great relief both physical and mentally to expecting mothers. Also using the arms and legs is also good on the cardio system as well. Other simple exercises that can be used are low pressure aerobics and or yoga. Exercise such as these are good for stretching the muscles that will be used in the laboring process.…

    Reasons For Returning To School

    After careful thought and consideration, I made the desire to return to school into a realistic goal. I had finally come to the conclusion, that it was time to take control of my circumstances, rather than continue to let my circumstances control me. For the first time in twenty years, I have a window of opportunity to fit a degree program into my daily schedule. Returning to school had always been a desire of mine, but in the past, I did not think I had the time or the money to pursue a degree. I was a single mother, I was working all of the time, my children were very young, and half of my wages went to daycare expenses.…

    Early Childhood Development

    Many researchers have taken time to learn more about how factors in an infant’s life can affect the way they develop and how it can affect their school years and adulthood. The vast majority of our development occurs in the first years of life, so what happens to us as an infant can be an indicator as to what kind of person we will become later on in life. If one experienced infancy being nurtured by loving caregivers who met their needs, researchers can predict that he or she would turn out to be a so-called normal adult who would face less issues concerning mental health.…

    Personal Statement - Graduate Program/Social Work

    When I first started my path towards my bachelor’s degree in education, I knew I was well on my way to becoming a teacher, I was excited to know that my dream was finally coming true. Then one day during my last year at Montclair State University I took a class with Dr. Reid “Field Experience Family/Child Services” that focused on different social issues that affect society. When I heard Dr. Reid discuss various research projects that had been conducted on how children from low socioeconomic households and communities develop academic skills more slowly compared to children from higher socioeconomic groups, I knew that I wanted to affect change on a totally different level. During the course of that class we discussed how children’s academic skills are directly correlated with their home environment and under- resourced schools often located in lower economic communities. This was very apparent in the field work I did that semester at Straight and Narrow, Inc. located in Paterson New Jersey. This program helped families rebuild relationships after serving time in correctional facilities and/or rehabilitation programs. After that semester I was certain without a doubt that I was making the right decision of changing my major from teaching to social work.…
