My Childhood Web

The most important people to me when I was a child, were my parents especially my dad, my one sister, my one aunt, and my 4th grade teacher.

My parents raised six girls, my dad was the only one working. He did anything and everything he could to make sure we did not go without. He worked swing shifts, with doing that, he packed my lunch for school, got me off to school, and home from school, he helped me with my homework, and he spent time with me. A lot of time. My dad and I are still very close, he is my best friend. I know through anything I can count on him.

My sister Jenna, I always wanted to be just like her when I was younger. She also helped me with my homework, and was and still is there for me any time I need anything.

My aunt passed away when I was about seven. But before then, she always let her nieces know that we were important to her. She would come over every weekend with us. She read with me, took me shopping. I remember being little, (she had cancer), and she showed me how to take care of her wig, when she was going through chemo-therapy.

My fourth grade teacher, was very creative in the how she taught. She made learning fun. I had a Valentine's Day party at my house, she came to it. She never gave up on her students. She is one of the reason why I chose to direct my life towards, education.

The people in my life, made it possible for me to be a strong adult. They helped me learn how to spread my wings, but if I happened to fall, they were there (and some still are) to help me on my feet again. They took the time out of their lives to be an important person in mine.

week 7 Code of Ethics

I-1.4—To appreciate the vulnerability of children and
their dependence on adults.
This one is important to me because children are so vulnerable, they depend on adults for everything. For the way they learn, how they act, their sense of importance. EVERYTHING. The way adults act towards children, will show throughout the child's life even through adulthood.

I-1.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early
childhood care and education and to stay informed
through continuing education and training.
When being a teacher, or becoming a teacher, it is important to maintain current. Children learn in different ways, and it is up to the teacher to understand the different ways.

I-1.5—To create and maintain safe and healthy settings
that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and
physical development and that respect their dignity
and their contributions.
Keeping a healthy and safe setting for children is a huge importance when being a teacher. A child has to feel safe, and have an understanding that they are respected, even if only in the classroom
