Time Well Spent

New insights from this course:
1. I learned how to create a possible community of practice for my strategies I would like to implement.  I evaluated .y community of practice each week to determine if it was the best community of practice to incorporate into my project. This inspired me to actually talk with a leader of a community of practice in my local town, the leader of passage homes.

2. I learned there are many types of leaders in the field.  I reviewed each leadership roles and reflected on the type of leader I would like to become.

3. I learned I have a passion for helping others better their quality of life.  I learned I want to pursue my passion so that I can make a difference in the world.

One long term goal: to publish children's books.

International Job roles

Save the Children is an organization that helps children in 120 different countries world wide. I chose this organization because of the many different services they offer. They offer health, nutrition, crisis, preschool services, and other help for children. I also like how the website shows facts about the services they provide.

ISSA is an organization that supports early childhood. They connect professionals, families, and communities of young children. I chose this organization because I like their mission:

• provide high quality care and educational services for all children from birth through primary school (birth through 10 years old), with a focus on the poorest and most disadvantaged
