Relationships are important because it helps to build confidence and it displays love; and that is the greatest gift of all.
My mother is a person who I admire and I have a strong positive relationship with as well. She has been an inspiration and a way maker throughout my life. I have seven siblings and as a child my mother returned to school to complete her degree for nursing to care for her family. As a young child I would see her constantly pushing through the struggles and hardships. I adored that about her because without knowing, by observing her she taught me and showed me how to depend on myself and to never stop striving until I get what I am striving for. My mother is very encouraging and she has always motivated me to gain a higher education and to be a woman who is strong, independent, wise, and able-bodied. As a young child I did not understand why she worked so hard. However, after having my own son, I understand the love, affection, and security that she wanted to provide for me. The relationship that I share with my mother is unconditional love. Relationships must have trust, love, respect, and support in order for it to be effective and to have an impact. My mother has faced many of challenges; however, because our relationship is so strong and sincere, we have stood together even closer to jump over hurdles.
My neices and nephews are my world. I have attempted to be a great aunt for them all, because I feel as though it is my duty to help them and support them to make sense of the world. It is amazing because not only have I impacted their lives, but they have also made a difference in my world. I know that family make a difference in the lives of children; for example, socially and academically. Therefore, I will continue to be involved in their lives and development to ensure that they will have the opportunities and support to prepare them in their future.
I will strive to continue to build relationships/partnerships as an effective early childhood professional by guiding children's learning and building support amongst several relationships as well. As educators we must take the responsibility to reach out and to play a role in children's development.
Isn't it wonderful how our mothers teach us so many things without even trying? Seeing your mother working so hard and not fully understanding why taught you perseverance and to value hard work. You knew it was important to her so it became important to you.
