Three local organizations that I would like to be apart of would be a prestigious Black Sorority that I would not like to name, the Wake County Educators Committee, and NCNW (National Council of Negro Women) which I was apart of in college. These organizations do a lot of community service and scholarships for children who want to go to college after high school.
Currently there are state jobs at the Morehead School of the Blind located in Raleigh, NC as a residential coordinator. I am interested in this job because my mother is blind she has been blind since I was 8 years old and have learned a lot by helping her do certain task.
I would preferably like to wait to apply for this position once I receive my Masters degree.

SEE YA LATER.....
So this is it. In this program I have learned that everyone isn't raised and wasn't raised like I was families have different views and outlooks on life and I am obligated to respect that. Secondly, as an administrator I will have my own rules that my staff must follow but I also have rules an procedures that I have to follow. Lastly, I have learned that team work makes the dream work. Parents, teachers and administrators always have to work together for the well being of the children.
Long term I would like to work for the state of North Carolina as an Early Childhood coordinator and then move to a Federal level.....simple right?
I would like to thank my colleagues for their insite and their opinions. To Dr. Dartt thank you for your helpful thoughts and comments and keeping us encouraged.

WEEK 6 BLOG
When you become comfortable in certain situations it is hard to leave and start over. Especially if there are feelings and emotions involved. Adjourning something that has created a bond between a group of people can be hard to walk away from.
When I was in high school I had five very close friends, we called ourselves the "05 Heffas" because of our graduation year. We had to face the fact that we all would be seperating from each other in August of 2005. We have all known each other since we were in elementary and middle school. We all were going to different cities and we were going to build new friendships. Before we graduated we tried to spend as much time as possible with each other. But, our separation wasn't that bad because we would get together for holidays and over the summer.
I think adjourning can also be a time to grow and to see what you have learned from that group. From my group of friends I learned how important friendship is and even though you may be distant from each other, your friendship should be strong enough that you never miss a beat when you meet again.

WEEK 5 BLOG
One of my parents complains all the time about how me and my co-teacher don't put on enough diaper cream or that we put their daughters diaper on too tight, CRAZY things. It had gotten so crazy with her complaining that she took her complaints to our director and our director began to focus the camera in our classroom to make sure that we were doing things correctly. I wasn't worried about it because Mrs. Linda is very experienced and I am quite savy and educated and people oriented and I have great ideas so I know we weren't doing anything wrong. I took it upon myself to pull the patent asside and asked her could we have a conference. We had the conference and it came to my attention her a d her husband were getting a divorce. It was taking a toll on her and her family. I showed empathy for her because she was obviously brokenhearted. Sometimes as educators we need to take the initiative to ask questions and show concern. That open communication can be very, very helpful.

WEEK 4 BLOG
During this week I took some evaluations and I had my boyfriend and his frat brother to the peer/ colleague evaluations. It was discovered that I have no problem communicating its just how I communicate at times with others. Sometimes I become aggressive when talking to people. If I feel offended by a comment that is made I let the person/persons know that I am. My voice may sometimes raise and my facial expressions show how I may feel without possibly completing sentences.
I am confident when communicating and I make eye contact. Making eye contact show that you are sincere. I am a good listener. Before expressing my opinions I hear peoples views and their opinions. Many people forget to do that when communicating. When you don't listen you miss important points.
My boyfriend and I are just a like when we get into arguments neither one of us will break down. One of us has to get the last word. It doesn't even have to be a heated argument just a small disagreement and he thinks he should be the last to speak whether he is wrong or not.

WEEK 3 BLOG
When talking to people from different cultures I try to make sure that I don't offend them. Before saying something I may feel is inappropriate I ask questions first. Everyone doesn't use the same phrases or the same slang so you have to be careful because everything has different meanings in different cultures. When talking to people from different cultures I have to make sure that I have a calm tone and that I am friendly. With anybody from a different culture I do not think you could go wrong with being nice. I think it is all about respect and comfort. People have to feel comfortable around each other in order to properly communicate. If you aren't comfortable around people then you aren't going to talk to them that's with anybody. I feel that questions should be asked when you don't know. Its better to ask questions than to assume. Assuming can embarass you and then people won't open up to you.
