Week 1: Assignment #2

Hello my name is Guadalupe Perez, but many call me Lupe. I am 21 years old and now a junior. My major is Early Childhood Education and I am hoping to have my Bachelors in about a year and a half. This is my first term with Brandman. I have already received my A.A. from Allan Hancock College and have taken several courses at San Jose State. I have recently married and now have a newborn. Although my circumstances have changed, I still wish to become some sort of advocate or counselor for children and their families as my future career. I want to be able to work with families and provide them with services and resources.

                Although I have not chosen a specific career yet, there are several aspects which I would like to do further research on. Because my major before was child and adolescent development, I would like to research more in depth about early childhood development. More specifically I would like to research about things such as reading to infants, breastfeeding, and language development. By taking this course, I feel I will obtain the knowledge and practice needed in order to improve my research skills. One skill which I would like to improve most on would be evaluating websites and articles and ensuring they are legitimate.
