Week 8 Blog


Final Blog Assignment    
            This course has been foundational in learning more about international early childhood field.  I believe that I have gained many new insights that although some were tough to learn about, they are a reality that we must continue to learn about, so we can support many children in need.  Coming from South America there is much poverty but learning that in the US there is much more poverty really makes me sad because this country is known to be the land of opportunity.  The results in children living in poverty affects their education, physical development, emotionally as well as socially.  I also learned that many of these parents do not have an education so there are many social injustices towards them. 
            I have learned that I must appreciate diversity and be sensitive to children and parents that come from a different background.  It is sad to learn that poverty affects children development and overall their education.    As I explored each week “Save the Children” website it was sad to see how many children around the world are suffering of poverty however this organization is doing wonderful things to reach out to these children and support them especially with providing them education.
            Although my family and I are involved in our community I believe that one goal I would like to work harder on is building more relationships with communities, so we can support more children and their families especially being in the early education field.

  1. Hello Miguel!

    I too think it is very vital to appreciate diversity all child child. Our children can learn so much from each other. I always try my best to be sensitive to children and parents from all backgrounds because I want all the families to feel welcomed therefore children will feel more comfortable in the classroom and as a result learn more. I enjoyed reading your insights and blog!

  2. Thank you, Miguel, for sharing your insight and your goal moving forward. I enjoyed reading that you and your family are already involved in your community but you want to do more. I hope that one day I could be as involved in my community as you are in yours. Best of luck to you on accomplishing your goal!
