Why I chose to become an early childhood professional

The reason why I chose to become an early childhood professional is because of the love I have for children.  I enjoy not only teaching them but their company and the interesting things they have to say.  Nothing is more rewarding then to see a child learn something for the first time and to know you played a major part in teaching what they have learned.  I love being a positive role model for young children, someone they can look up to and want to be like when they become adults.  I also decided to become an early childhood professional because not only do I love children, they love me.  I treat them with the respect and dignity they so much deserve.  I want to be that teacher who makes such a great impact on young children that they remember me well into their adult life.  I want to be that person who helps make and mold these young children into successful adults.  I also chose this position because I want to know how children develop cognitively from birth.  I even enjoy the pleasure of starting relationships with families so that not only will I be making an impact on the children I teach but helping the families with resources and information they may not know is available.  I want to be able to help them so they are knowledgeable and can help their children at home because that's where teaching starts.  After volunteering in the class with my own kids for many years I thought why not turn this into a career.  I want to keep our children smiling and teach them to love the joy of learning.
