Establishing & Expanding Resources

In attempt to establish communication with professionals outside of the United States I have e-mailed several different organizations explaining why I need to establish communication. I reviewed the e-mail addresses for early childhood professionals worldwide provided by The Global Alliance of NAEYC and UNICEF"s local organizations and representatives worldwide.

I e-mailed Early Childhood Australia: The Australian Early Childhood Advocacy Organization, The Canadian Association for Young Children, and the Early Childhood Council New Zealand (ECC) to establish contact with an early childhood professional. At the present time, the organizations I contacted have not replied. I will continue to email other organization to establish contact.

The website I decided to study is The Global Fund for Children. I choose this website to study for a few different reasons. The main reason is because this organization offers resources to the most vulnerable children in remote areas around the world. As well as partnering with grassroots organizations to best reach young children and youth.

It is a good ideas if the website you decided to study has a place sign-up to receive the latest news to sign-up I recommend you do. This will help you stay current with issues, ideas, and information.

My Supports

My family is the most supportive of me in so many ways.  My family supports my choices, ideas, feelings, and opinions.  Having a supportive family makes all the difference.  If I did not have my family to support me, I could not of accomplished all that I have.  As a child, my family was not very supportive, that's why it is so important for me to have a supportive family of my own.   Without the support of my family I would not be able to have the career I have, nor would I be able to continue my education.  It is the support of my family that encourages me to become who I am.

If I did not have the support of my family, I would face many challenges: emotionally, practically, and physically.  I would be overwhelmed, stressed, and unable to do the things I can with the support of my family.  As I mentioned earlier, I would not be able to further my education or be an early childhood professional.  Without a supportive family I would not have the time or energy to do everything myself.  It takes all of us to help with the household chores.  It is also important for our family to be respectful, kind, caring, and to work together.  With out having a supportive family I would not have what I need and want.  I could not even imagine not having a supportive family.  My family is supportive of me in every way.  Having a family that is supportive encourages openness, respect, responsibility, and strong meaningful relationships.  With out my family there is no way I would be who I am today.
