I found this course to be very beneficial to my education and future career as an early childhood educator.

I know teaching is my passion because I have talked about working with children since I was young. It is cliché, but I truly want to be able to make a difference in as many lives as I can. I have found comfort in the fact that even if I end up disliking teaching in the classroom, I know there are many other options out there for me. Museum education and government jobs with ODJFS are just two options of many that I could get into and still have a positive impact on many children’s lives. I am very excited for the journey of becoming an early childhood education teacher, and cannot wait to see what my future
