Professional Hopes and Goals

The world has come more and more diverse with economy expanding, coming with it, there are more and more cooperation and moving within people from all around the world. It is no strange that you live in a community where people are in different colors, speaking different languages, and have different costumes. Our young generation lives in such a fast-changing and connecting world, one hope I have when working with children and families from diverse backgrounds is: keep open-minded, understanding and respecting everyone, everything happened.

A goal is to promote equity education to every child who is willing to learn but may lack of resources or financial support.

I appreciate a lot for every peers’ support and generous sharing of their experience, perspective, and knowledge. I benefit a lot from it, and inspires me to explore in the early childhood field. All the best to everyone’s future learning.

Welcoming Families From Around the World

  Supposed I worked in the Child Care Center, and one day I had a new child coming from Luxembourg joining us. I’d like to let them feel welcomed and I need to prepare myself to culturally response towards the family. After checking from internet, I found out people there speak French, German and Luxembourgish. I will learn how to say “hello” in Luxembourgish, and give them the feeling of connection. I will download their national anthem and play it for them. I will get some Chinese rose since it is their national flower. I know they like French and German food, I will prepare some as well. I will invite the family to have a long lunch together on the first day, and talk to them as long as possible.

I hope I can have good connection with the child and their family, so that I can get support from them, make my work easy. I think it is also important for the family and the child to feel welcomed, so they can be relaxed and feel they are a part of the community. 

the oppression

The first oppression coming to my mind is how the so-called City Inspector staffs treat the itinerant hawkers. There are always news report in recent years that the inspectors beat the itinerant hawkers, how they treat them without personalization. They are like rubbers, they even don’t care about people’s life, no matter dignity or respect.

            The inspectors want to keep the city “in order”, keep the streets clean, but they forget there are some people who are poor, they don’t have the ability to get a decent job, and they need to make a living in the cities. It is unfair to expel them from the cities, since maybe they have no home to return to.

            This kind of news always make me sad and angry, I think the society need to be fairer to the poor people. The government needs to create more job opportunities for the poor people, and help them to learn skills of making a living.
