Relationship is a partnership where two people work on
building a healthy environment. I always have a great relationship with my
mother and she is my everything. She
taught me the basic skills in life to be an effective learner through my adulthood. I still have friends from elementary school
that I can consider family because of the type of relationship that we built
since our early learning years. When you have that great relationship with
someone that you care about it can be beneficial to both you and that person. As
a professional in the early childhood field I need to have that positive communication
with parents so that I can know when my students have critical needs. Therefore,
having a positive relationship with my staffs, parents, students, family
members, and the community is very important to me because we all can benefit
from each other.
My husband is like my
best friend. We have a great relationship where we communicative with each
other effectively as well as support each other. My husband always encourages
to do be better in anything that matters to me. For instant my goal is to open
a learning center for special need children as well as regular education
children after I finish my program at Walden, he encourage to start working on
my project now so that I can finish both my schooling and open my business at
the same time. My mother is my biggest supported she show me love in so many
level and I am glad that I have her in my life. Emily is my one of my good
friend that I value. We have a great relationship where we support each other
on a day-to-day basis. We communicate with each other on areas that can affect
our life as an individual. Having a great friend and family support can make a difference
in someone’s life.
The challenge of developing meaningful relationship is to not
judge each other, and always be yourself. For example when I met Emily we had a
natural understanding about each other. We accepted each other and respected each
other’s knowledge and ability as an individual. It is very important to
communicate with each other with respect because everyone has something special
to offer. My experience with
relationship and partnership plays a big role in my teaching career. As a
teacher I have to maintain a relationship with parents and students in my class
as well as partner with the community to have resources for those parents that
have critical needs children in order to better serve them.

“Play fosters belonging and 
When
I was younger my sister and I use to play house. It was our favorite game to
play together. We also use to build the houses for our dolls with blocks around
the yard. We were always outside playing with our toys or neighborhood friends.
Growing in Haiti, children are outside playing all day every day because adults
believe that children should be outside playing away from grownups. We were
told that children play outside, not in the house, because we use to bring
blocks inside the house to build out dolls house. The United States and Haiti
are two completely different environments. I moved to the United States when I
was still young and the rules were different such that I was able to play
inside the house and engage more with technology vs. Haiti where there is no
technology for children to play with. I am glad that I was able to experience
living in Haiti and in the United States as well. In fact, children need to be
outside on the playground to explore and excises their brain for a health
growth.
