Reflection and Inspiring Quotes

  Poverty is everywhere. It is a serious problem that needs to be addressed in our country and across the world. Children are our future and we adults, not just educators, are responsible for making sure that children grow up as productive members of society. 

  

   The past 4 months has been such an insightful, learning experience. I have learned so much about global perspectives and the importance of culture. The children we teach come from all over the world and are very diverse. Many educators are in their rooms with their doors closed(and I mean in every sense). I was that teacher until this class opened my eyes to the world outside of my classroom. It is a beautiful world. I hope to continue my education so that I can continue to learn about the diversity in my classroom. My goal is to reach every child in my classroom and better understand how he or she learns.
