This class experience has been a great one and I enjoyed every minute of it. I have gain a lot of information that is going to help me in my future endeavors. The first insight I gained was on poverty. I did not realize how poverty can affect the whole child. It was overwhelming when I read the stories about people that was in poverty. Poverty can come to anybody at anytime. The second insight I gained is knowing that every child does not get a good early childhood experience before they come to school. I thought this was just a local issue but I found out it is a world issue. Children get early childhood education depending on how much money their families have in their possession. The third insight is that diversity is being look at as a good thing in the education world. It is wonderful to know that education is respecting everybody no matter what they look like or where they come from.
My goal is get in contact with somebody from National Center for Children in Poverty to find our ways that I can help in my community. I want families to get out of the state of poverty to help their children to develop in every stage. I want the cycle of poverty to be broken so that children will have the opportunities to live out their dreams.

Chastity,
ReplyDeleteI agree. I learned a lot about poverty throughout this course. It affects children and families majorly! I’m glad I learned so much about it. I am a firm believer that children bring their experiences to the classroom. How can we expect children to concentrate on their academics when so much is going on at home? I had a wonderful childhood so I can only try to begin to understand how they feel in their situations. Good luck in your goals that you have set for yourself and I pray for the best with your future courses and experiences.
