Early Childhood Journey Paper

Directions In this 1-2-page paper, students will reflect on why and how they came to be in the early childhood field and what they hope to gain from the course. Students will discuss their previous experience in the field of early childhood, describe their future aspirations and define the reason they have chosen this field.

You can use an informal letter format but writing needs to professional with appropriate language. Please avoid using cliche phrases such as "because I love children," or "I've always wanted to be a teacher." This needs to be deeper than those statements.
