Professional Hopes and Goals

First of all, I would like to thank each and everyone of my colleagues for their stories, comments, and suggestions this course. They have certainly helped me grow as a professional and as a person.
My hopes for working with children in the future are that I will be open and be a lifelong learner for them. I want to continue to learn about the children I work with to expand my own knowledge but also to be a good role model for them and show them that they, too, should be lifelong learners and be open to anything.
My goal for the field in regards to diversity is for providers to realize that diversity means more than just remembering to celebrate Black History month and Hannukah. It means working with families, learning about them, bringing all of the elements of diversity to the classroom for the children to be exposed to all during the year.
