PERSONAL CHILDHOOD

WHO WERE THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO CARED ABOUT ME?
The people in my life who cared for me were both of my parents, grandparents, and my sisters and brother.

WHO WERE THE PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY WHO NATURED ME?
The people who natured me in my family once again will be my parents and grandparents.


THE PLAYMATES THAT MADE ME FEEL SPECIAL, LOVED, AND CARED ABOUT ME:
My sisters and brother were my playmates I have three sisters and one brother we played very well together. My neighborhood friends were Tonya and Eugena we were classmates as well. The love me, my sisters, brother and neighborhood friends had was unconditional love. They all cared for me the way I cared for them. We all shared a very special bond.


FIVE LOVING, CARING, AND SPECIAL PEOPLE:

PARENTS: Mom and Dad were both loving people. My dad influenced me to get an education. Dad also made me feel special by being there for me no matter what the situation was. Mom is a very sweet, caring, and nice young lady. Mom also influenced ne to go to school and become a tecaher just as she is. Mom natured me by being the greatest mem a child could ever ask for. My mom always baked cakes, cookies, and took me out for ice cream those times were our moments to have mother and daughter time.

TRACEY: is my oldest sister she was always the one to motivate and guide me in the right directions. Tracey was first to do everything graduate from college,  and become a teacher just like mom.

TAWANDA: is the second child, she was my protector. Tawanda would always look after me she taught me alot of things. Tawanda would talk to me about going to school and doing my best so that I could graduate like Tracey. She would always tell me to study so I could become a teacher like Mom, Tracey, and herself.

TERRANCE: is the fourth child. My brother is very caring he would always make sure I was alright as if he was my oldest brother. Terrance would always tell me to be careful when playing, riding my bike, jumping rope what the situation was he looked after me. Terrance is a teacher and coach as well.

TAMMY: is the fifth child. So that makes Tammy the youngest. Tammy loved to follow me around. She was very spoiled and got whatever she wanted from Mom and Dad. Tammy too became a Teacher. As you can see my sisters and brother are Educators. My entire family has inspired, influenced, cared, and supported me through my schooling.

Other passions for early childhood teachers.

I try to maintain my passion about the subject matterthat I teach by striving to be a lifelong learner. Teachers who have genuine passion about the disciplines in which they teach are more likely to remain passionate about teaching.

Story about a child that touched my heart.

The story that touched my heart the most is Junie B. Jones. Junie B. is a kindergarten student and very excited about graduation. All the children in room nine are excited when they get their bright white graduation gowns. The teacher says to keep them in their boxes until the big day. Junie B. Jones just can't help herself. She opened her gown anyway...
