Discussion Post #1 Introduction
Hi everyone you can call me Harmony. I’m originally from Nigeria but I currently live in the Brooklyn United States of America. I’m a teacher and work with children of ages zero months to four years old. I am 36 years old and a mother of two.
I would like to share some of my childhood memories with you guys. I had so much fun growing up as a little kid especially in elementary school, with my family and friends. I remember one evening; my dad took us to a cinema to watch movies. My brother and I used to run to the car’s front seat. I was 6 years old. I always wanted to sit in the front of the car just to enjoy the views. I still remember the sounds of my dad’s voice “D girl you are too little to sit in the front” as he fondly called. I will scream and cry and he would give me a biscuit. The biscuit was made out of milk, so delicious and yummy.
My pronounce are they/them/theirs and she/her/hers. I major in early childhood education. I look forward to doing good in this class with the help of my professor and classmates. I selected this subject so that I could comprehend the variations that gender has on people’s “social, political, and economic” lives. Additionally, I would like to know how this can advance society and how I can apply the concepts to my line of work.
Lastly, I love teaching as it allows me to inspire kids to think beyond their comfort zone while I keep learning and growing in knowledge as well. I hope it will help me think critically and understand how this topic affects our beliefs, culture, race, and ethnicity. I find this topic interesting and appreciate learning about it.
My name is Yvette Torres Valera.My major is Psychology when I graduate I would like to become a student counselor for elementary students and I want to work hard so I can help kids so they can trust me and go to me if they ever need help or ever want someone to talk to. I always loved helping even as a kid I would try to complete my work first because then my teacher would assign me as a little teacher and I would help kids out as a 5-year-old, so I kept my word and still pursued the need I have to help kids out but in a psychological field. My pronouns are she/her and I’m taking this course because it sounded so interesting I would love to learn more about Gender and women’s studies and how this class can impact me for a better view on opening my interest in this I’m curious of learning more about
