Throughout this course I have been exposed to the international aspects of the field. By learning about the international spectrum I have become aware of my lack of knowledge that happens outside of the us, the amounts of poverty that flood the and streets here and there, and lastly it has helped me to find my personal and professional reason of why I am in the field.
I lack knowledge an in depth knowledge in the field. With this course I felt I gained a deeper understanding but on a continuous path to become a professional in the field. Both personally and professionally learning about the early childhood field internationally forces me to go above and beyond to expand what I know. I examined websites such as UNICEF who helps children internationally and locally.
Then there is the poverty levels that are not only internationally but in the county that I live in. I reside in the Inland Empire which is currently amongst the top 25 metropolitan areas with the highest level of poverty. This is an area that I have grown up in, play in, and where I call home. However our type of poverty may be much different from those living in other countries. Yet poverty can have the same effects anywhere and that is the possibility of robbing a child from what we aim so hard to promote, childhood.
Lastly this course fueled my desire for high-quality ad equity. There needs to be similar experiences and standards across the board to offer the best opportunity for all children. Our field needs well educated, knowledgeable, and competent people. This has become my goal. To do good for all.
My goal for the field and international awareness is for us to continue to work together and collaborate together to do what we can for all children to be offered a chance at breaking cycles, being well taken care of, and getting an education. I have learned our field requires much more of us.
