What it is to be a professional

Brunei Darussalam is where five year old Irfran Bin Md Zulkili lived when he was asked the question what is a really good childhood. This contest was for people living in the Asia-Pacific region. There were 900 entries from 23 countries. I would like to express three things that I learned from this site through this child. I will also include my professional goals.

1. The child's world is full of color and love. As a professional I would like not only children to participate but have a smile on their face as they do so. If you look closely at the picture the young girl has her hand on the teachers arm. This woman is loved.
2. The woman is showing the pictures. As an educator this teacher is in tune with the children and teaching them with information that relates to their world. In the picture it seems to me the birds are not even caged, they are there because they want to be.
3. The third would be as a professional the children are reflecting the demeanor of the woman. This is something that I strive for. To be an example. 
   
   I also wanted to share this picture. If you look at the picture below even though it is a family and the one above. There is unity. I believe as a professional this is what we need to strive for. To fill a child's world with color and love                                                                                    resource                       "Five year-old boy won the regional Photo and Drawing Contest  What is a good early childhood?” (2012) retrieved from “http://www.unescobkk.org
