Time Well Spent: So long, farewell: See you in my future.

The roads we travel and the people we meet.

As I began this class I bought my hopes and dreams, my inspiriting and my disconforts. When I met my online colleagues, I knew they were my supporters. I have learned one thing that mean so much to me. No matter how far we are apart we were a team. I will always charest my learning experiences and the information that I picked up from each of you and Dr. Teri I appreciate you too. Thank you for helping me to accompolish my dream, a Master in Early Education, is now a reality.
I learned to make a “wordle” something I had never done, I learned to about my biased, did’nt know I had them, and I’ve learned that I need all of you today, tomorrow, and forever.

I will not forget the people I met in the 2011-2013 Masters of Early Childhood Studies, Master’s Degree Program
Thank you.

SIDS

SIDS –Sudden Infants Death Syndrom Infant mortality refers to deaths of children under the age of one year. It is measured by the infant mortality rate, which is the total number of deaths to children under the age of one year for every 1,000 live births. The infant mortality rate is often broken down into two components relating to timing of death: neonatal and postneonatal. The neonatal mortality rate refers to the number of deaths to babies within 28 days after birth (per 1,000 live births). Sometimes a special type of neonatal mortality is assessed. The perinatal mortality rate measures the number of late fetal deaths (at or after 28 weeks gestation) and deaths within the first 7 days after birth per 1,000 live births. The postneonatal mortality rate involves the number of deaths to babies from 28 days to the end of the first year per 1,000 live births. The distinction between neonatal (and perinatal) and postneonatal mortality is important because the risk of death is higher close to the delivery date, and the causes of death near the time of birth/delivery are quite different from those later in infancy. Therefore, effective interventions to reduce infant mortality need to take into account the distribution of ages at death of infants. Many developing countries lack the resources to keep track of infant deaths; therefore data for these areas are estimates only. Another methodological problem in measuring infant mortality is ascertaining the number of live births. Sometimes this problem is one of undercounts of births (i.e., births are not registered and thus not counted); sometimes the difficulty lies in inconsistently differentiating stillbirths and live births, especially across countries because this distinction is not as clear-cut as one might imagine Kids Health: http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/sleep/sids.html

My Support

The factors I see as a support system are the ladies I work with every day. I have so many things to do that I don’t always get to talk about with what’s going on in my life. I like to talk about school, my personal life, and my life with my family. I work in an office environment where we see people face-to-face all day. I face many challenges with doing my job and the encouragement I get from my job family is like no other.

My co-workers know how important my education is to me and how badly I want to open up my own childcare center and to teach early education. They are very supportive of my thoughts and my ambitions to make this would a better place for our children. All of my coworkers are family oriented and some of them are in school as well. We talk about everyday challenges with working, going to school, and raising our families. We support each other and when something is going on in our life that we need to pray about we all get together and pray. It works.

Not only do I like going to work, I also like the people I work with and they like me. It’s like we have our own little family. Let me not leave our wonderful manager who falls right in line with us. She helps me stay out of trouble and I don’t know what I would do without her either. I would not have come this far with the support of the women I work with at my job and the encouragement they offer to me on a daily basis.

Some of my worst fears are failing in school. I try to study hard and to complete task in a timely manner. Time does not allow me to do much more during the week beside work, school and raising my daughter. I want to buy a new house and open up a childcare center right now but finances and obligations are making the process very challenging for me. I am now a single mom and my income is our only support. I want to give back to the community and also provide a good life for my daughter by providing all of her needs as well as my own needs. I do very well for myself and getting started is a big step. I would have to make some sacrifices that I am afraid would put me in a bind. I don’t want to borrow money that I can’t pay back because that would only put me behind in my plans.

Finishing school would give me some tools to work with to bring the plan together. Most days I’m ok, but when I look at my future it seem so far to reach for my goals. I am a winner and I don’t give up. I encourage everyone to follow your dreams and keep the future endeavors bright. Don’t give up and don’t quit. “Loser do what they want to do, and winners do what they have to. I know I am a winner.”
