 Professional Hopes and Goals
The one hope that I have is that all children and families, no matter what their culture/background is will be treated equally and that they in turn will do the same. We must as educators understand the different cultures/customs that the families we work with and not be judgmental.  We must do this in order to provider these children and their families with the most effective and appropriate services they need without making them feel inferior or not want to ask for the assistance their child needs.  We must teach our young ones to respect each other, however, in order for this to succeed we as adults must show them the way and respect each other also.
One goal I have after this course is that all educators become educated in the issues related to diversity and to understand the different customs/traditions we will be working with.  We must stand up for the rights of these children and become advocates for them and make sure that we don't become judgmental when a child comes from a low economic status family.

I would like to thank my colleagues for providing the support in this course..  I realize that educational journeys become successful when we support each other and provide positive feedback.  A big THANK YOU for being the role models that I know I will continue to exercise in my professional and personal life.  I would also like to thank our instructor for always providing the positive feedback on our discussions and class work.  Hope to see some of you again in my next journey.
