When it comes to connecting with others, there can be varying opinions.

I personally believe that connecting with others is very important when you are trying to promote yourself. There are many ways to connect with others in todays time. There are so many social media sites out there that help you create an outreach and connection with others. Sharing your life, thoughts and goals with other people can be a vulnerable thing but sometimes the need for it outweighs what might scare you.

By connecting with others, you are building a support team. This can make a huge difference when wanting to achieve something.

My first experience in Early Education was at 16 years old while I was in High School. I didn’t know much about children at that time and coincidentally I didn’t think I liked children either. Once I started learning more about children and getting to work with them hands on, I started to realize that I was intrigued with their development and quite liked their companionship.

My High School teacher made the experience quite fun and interesting. We had a lot of hands on participation with the children and a lot of fun activities that we were able to plan. She taught us many things about how children develop and what children enjoy. After this class, I started to work for a before and after school program with children ages 4-12. Once I turned 18, I found my first job at a daycare center.

If it weren’t for this elective class that I thought would just be an easy A, I do not think I’d ever find my passion for teaching young children.
