For several reasons, one is that I am 20-years-old, which is in the middle of the transition period between adolescence to adulthood. Psychology professor, Jeffrey Arnett describes “emerging adulthood” as a time for identity exploration, instability, and self-focus (Henig, 2010). I completely relate to these traits, considering I am gaining more independence while pursuing higher education; my time in college has…

From an early age, I was good at solving puzzles and finding patterns. My interest in this program makes sense, since figuring out how things work are a huge part of the curriculum. I also like knowing how things are made and I like knowing how things work. I have always liked technology, and have always wanted to be a part of making and developing it. Since I like doing these things, the Science and Engineering Learning Center is where I would like to spend the next four years of my life. For…

firstly through networking with resources and connecting with my peers through discussions and blogs. Discussion postings have allowed me to open up, share, and express myself freely. Therefore, I can write comfortably and effectively as related to early childhood studies. I enjoy connecting with my peers because it truly makes learning fun.

I was taught hard work is important if you want to achieve anything in…

Throughout this semester, I have been introduced to a surfeit of knowledge, ideas, and concepts, many of which have left a lasting impression on me. All of this information has played a role in molding my current philosophy of education.
