The Investment worth a Lifetime.
As a child I grew up a native Spanish speaker, I was not enrolled into a preschool
educational program, like many children I was not prepared to enter kindergarten. My parents
working in the fields, worked long and hard to be able to live a healthy lifestyle. My parents
although no matter how tired they were, always explained how receiving an education is
important; in order to not work in the fields as they did. Entering kindergarten I was behind,
neither was I able to speak English correctly but lacked in reading and writing. As a child, I felt

Thomas Friedman, emphasizes the importance of a teacher’s job at any level of education,
including early childhood education. In a passage titled CQ + PQ > IQ, states the fact that being
curious and passionate is more important than intelligence. The ones who spark curiosity and
passion in children are teachers and their parents. In order to be able to get a child excited about

opportunity to learn to love, is by letting that curiosity grow and never let it dwindle down. To do
that as Friedman said, is by having them taught by great teachers from the start. For teaching
doesn 't stop at early childhood education, it will go on with them beyond college into life, for we
never stop being students, and at times we are even the teachers. For a toddler at the age 3-5 they
are gaining abilities to pick and choose teachers who are going to impact their lives forever, and
not be on cruise control. In order for preschool to work the teacher themselves must love
children. They must see a vision in which they know that their every movement is
