I am xxxxxxx  mother to six year old xxxx, born in November 22, 1988 in New York Bronx. Ever since I was born, my family knew that I was going to be a special person because I was born on a special day. I have a big family where I come second at the mention of attending college. Currently I reside in XXXXXXX and went to school in a public school system of the same area. I am a caring individual with a mind, heart and soul of caring for young children. While attending school, I learnt how to associate with people and learnt different socialization theories, how to work in groups, how to deal with diverse personalities among other social aspects. After getting a good grasp of how to mingle with people, I taught myself how to control myself when engaging with others. It is for this reason that I have always had great connection not with children alone but with everybody.

It was in my early teenage years that I practiced my first experience for babysitting for some family friends. I loved being around children very much and this was my first ‘real world’ experience not only because I was earning some money but for exposure and building of my passion. During summer, I have also been volunteering in churches and Bible school vacation where I built a greater connection with children which has helped me make a great difference in their lives and it is what I seek to do in future more passionately. I have tried building other interests away from CDA, but I have always found myself returning back to working in a school setting or childcare. I have just completed college where I have managed to score 53 credits and I only need 7 more credits to acquire my associates.

It is for my passion of working with children that I decided to pursue a career in a child care field. However, I still owe the school an enormous amount of money that I need to pay in order to finish my entire degree in Childhood education. The love for working with children was not only for my family friends. I have been privileged to work at a Head Start called Sharon Baptist. I have been fulfilling my passion there as a worker for 2 years and two months as a teacher aide on a part time basis from 2pm-6pm. I also got another recent opportunity where I got hired to work at sheltering arms children learning center on a part time basis of morning shift from 2pm-6pm. All these have been an honor to me especially because I have not received my degree yet.

Children are my focus as they provide me with the perfect environment away from home which is my main goal. I always thought and prayed really hard about this and my desire door was opened for me to fulfill my passion. Now I am willing to continue taking my classes to obtain my final CDA degree and words cannot just explain how excited I am with a great willing feeling of ability to complete what I started. Upon completing my CDA, I have plans to get my certification of working with aged children even though I have little experience with them. I have great desire for this certificate too and I am confident I am fulfilling what I was created to do. I know I was born to do exploits and what I am doing now is exciting. I can do both young and aged child care which would make my opportunity more rewarding.
