About Me!

I was born in Queens New York and I am the youngest of two children. Growing up I was always dancing at church or at dancing school. My favorite color is purple and I often dye my hair that color. I was born on February 14th but ironically I'm VERY allergic to chocolate. I have been a Speech Language Pathologist at a preschool for the last 4 years. This has been a very rewarding experience. Seeing the progress that these kids make always warms my heart. Being able to send a child to Kindergarten without an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) is such a joy!!!!!

I was always destined to attend Hampton University but school was just NOT my thing!!!! As a child I enjoyed school and was reading at an early age. As I got older my love for school diminished. I found it a horrible daunting task that would never end. That all changed when I first entered Hampton University. I fell in love with learning like the little girl in the picture above. As I pursue this doctorate I always tell the younger generation my story. Had I not had a family to push me to do better who knows where I would be right now. I keep this picture as a reminder of how much I loved to learn.

My Question for the readers:

What motivates you? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What new ideas can you contribute to Early Childhood Education?
We were asked to discuss this week do we believe in play or personal relationships? What are your thoughts? Look forward to the next post to discuss this further.

Greetings!

Welcome to my new blog!!!

I am a Doctoral student in Early Childhood Education and a Speech Language Pathologist. I will be using this blog to express my thoughts in comparison to research on Early Childhood Education. I hope to connect with other Educators, Parents, Therapist and those who are generally involved in children's development. Hope you enjoy this new journey with me!!!
