Personal Childhood Web

I would love to dedicated this section of the blog to each and every person in my life that have ever been there for me in my time of need and that have helped me get through situations. Also I would like to say thank you, thank you for telling me no when I needed to hear it and even though I got mad I knew you told me because it was best for me. So, again thank you and I Love and appreciate you all very much.

5 People that Care, Nuture, and Influence Me!!!!
My mother, ummm...there is so much I can say about you. she is so AWESOME. She has influenced me to do great things in life. She is one that always believes in me and she never doubt me at all. She is the most loving, sweet, gentle, and caring person anyone will ever have and encounter with. Everytime I didn't feel good she was always there by my side nursing me back to a good health. She gives me hugs and encouraging words when I need them. She makes me feel really special when she tells me how proud she is of me. I would not trade her for the world. I love and appreciate everything she has done for me. When I ask her for something if she can't give it to me I don't worry about it because she constantly gives to me throughout the year. She really MOTIVATE me to do well. She influence me in this present day because I see how positive she is and that makes me want to continue to stay positive.

My grandparents, they are the BEST and most givers of all givers. They will give people the clothes off their backs. They are also sweet, kind, gentle, loving and more. This is whre my mother gets her personaility from. They have done so much for me. As I was going through they brought me my first car. They also helped me out with my college tuition. Whenever I need to talk, they were always there to listen. They are truly caring people and they will do anything for anybody. I LOVE and APPRECIATE these guys with all my heart even though I may not show it sometimes. Their influence really impacts me to do my best when I'm at home and while I'm away because they're always working hard and doing thier best.

My Fiance, he is awesome. He always tell me I can do whatever it is I put my mind to. He never sugar coat anything.. He is loving and caring and he is also a person that will do anything for anybody. I wouldn't trade him for anybody else. He feeds me positive words and when I'm down, he always know what to say to me to make me feel better, laugh and smile. He makes me feel special when he comes out of no where with surprises although I really don't like them. His influence will always impact my present life because everytime I think of how positive he is and brush off negativity I will do the same.

Lastly my aunt, is a very loving and caring person. She does a lot for people. Whenever I need something, I can go straight to her and whenever I need a good laugh she is there. She gives me encouraging words when I need them and she makes me feel good. She is also another giver. She makes me feel special just by smiling at me. Her influence will continue to impact my present day life becasue she is a hardworker and I too am a hardworker. So, as I think about how hard she works that will keep me going.

My Favorite Memory
As a child growing up my favorite memory was going to my family reunion. We had it at a park in my hometown. I loved it because I had so much fun when I was there. It was the best family reunion I have ever been to. I got to get on the paddle boat with my sister and a friend of the family and it started raining on us, and when you are a kid you love to play in the rain. It was actually fun being on the paddle boat while it rained. I also played volleyball with all of my family and got to eat lots of tasty food.

Examing Code of Ethics

From DEC
1. We shall demonstrate our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues, and others with
whom we work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture.
This code I feel is very significant to my profession. It deals with my profession because I think that it is only right for us to be able to respect and have concdern for children and families. This is why we chose this professional field. If we are not concerned about them, then I feel that we are in the wrong field. We need to make sure that we are very considerate of this ethic.

From NAYEC
I-1.8—To support the right of each child to play and
learn in an inclusive environment that meets the
needs of children with and without disabilities.
This code means a lot to me because I feel that if someone is a professional then they need to make sure that they support children to the best of their ability. This is significant to my professional life because I want to make sure that I am able to meet the needs of the children I will be working with since in my field that is who I am mainly going to be dealing with.

I-1.10—To ensure that each child’s culture, language,
ethnicity, and family structure are recognized and
valued in the program.
This is significant to my professional life becasue I will never want a child to just adapt and stick to the language and culture I know. I believe that it is a good way for the child to know about their background and where they came from. I would love for each child to know about their culture and I would love for the other children to learn from each other about their backgrounds.

Quote by Janet-Ganzalez-Mena and Marcy Whitebook/Professional from Passions of Early Childhood

Janet Gonzalez- Mena
"Some parents teach their children to put others before them."

Marcy Whitebook
"Disadvantages arise early in life, and poorer children do not arrive at school doors prepared for academic learning."

Louise Derman-Sparks
"The passion to make sure all children are taught in environments in ways that truly nutured thier ability to grow and develop to their fullest ability."
