Passion to Action

I embarked upon this journey at Walden embracing my destiny and the gift that God endowed me with. Hence, the first two words included in my Wordle are DESTINY and GIFTEDNESS. Owning this divine appointment provided me with DIRECTION and this direction has led to rely heavily upon the collectivity of my friends, family, professors, and colleagues. COLLABORATION via discussion posts, blogs, and e-mail has given me a sense of comradery, realizing that others, like myself, are seeking to be ENLIGHTENED by this route of study. The various courses I have taken at Walden has educated me on the lack of EQUITY in the field of early childhood education. This embodiment of equality fueled a sense of ADVOCACY within, expanding and deepening my knowledge of the needs of children and families. This newfound learning prompted GROWTH in me both personally and professionally. The results of these passionate realizations and actions will be REWARDING for me, in that; I am fulfilling God's plan for my life, while simultaneously using this power and discernment to impact and illuminate others. In all, this experience has been valuable for me. It has shed much light on the way in which I was reared and how this upbringing influences my future in early childhood studies (Laureate University, 2013). The challenges I have faces along the way are apart of the commitment Louise Derman-Sparks speaks of in this weeks' multimedia presentation. The field of early childhood education and its anti-bias approach aids us in renewing and reclaiming our passion making way for a more just world (Laureate University, 2013).
