Unfortunately, I did not get to speak with any international early childhood educators. I did not realize how difficult contacting educators in other countries would be. I did enjoy reading articles about all of the efforts made by Harvard's Global Children's Initiative to create quality early education programs for children in Brazil. I was also inspired by last week's podcast, to pursue my dream of operating my own early childhood program. NAEYC proved to be an excellent resource, and the articles provide a wealth of information and guidance to early educators all over the world.
My professional goals have not changed; however, I do believe I have an obligation, to advocate for those who can not defend themselves. My faith has increased, and I now know I can be a part of the solution. I can not allow what I see, to dictate what I can accomplish if I put my mind to it, and commit to the cause! I want to thank all of my classmates for the wisdom you offered, and all of the advice you shared.
