Relationship Reflection

I will begin my blog by saying having positive relationships and partnership throughout my life has been the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I never remember a time that I didn’t have someone there for me. My mom and dad has a great relationship and partnership. They instill in me values that has made into the person I am today.  They have always told me in order to have a great relationship you must form a partnership and learn that it is a lot of give and take.  

Over the, years even with my own family, I have learn that forming relationships with my husband, my daughter and colleagues that it is a work in progress. I have learned through my experiences to always keep the lines of communication open, and sometimes you have to put the needs of other before your own.  I believe you learn by example. The example my mom and dad set for me many years go and the relationship and partnership that they have shared for over 43 years is what I model my family by. We are family that believe that a “Family that Prays together will Stay together.

I believe I can take what I know about relationships and partnership and apply it to being a great early childhood professional.

    I like how you mentioned building relationships with the people in your life currently "is a work in progress". I recently found out with great shock that I am pregant. Although it did not come at what I thought was an ideal time because my boyfriend and I are not married I am very excited! Talking about relationships with week has really hit home for me because him and I are going to be entering into a whole other level of our relationship. Even though its been 3 years with him, it has been a rocky one and now sort of seems like none of that matters and how we work on our relationship now and our level of communication is what is most important. Also not to mention the new relationship I now get to start forming with my child!
