My passion when it comes to early childhood education from birth
to age eight, the topic that is dear to me is entitled “poverty.” Poverty is
very dear to my heart especially in young children. The subtopic I chose to
focus on is “Children under the Age of 18 who live in poverty. I
chose this subtopic because I know from experience as a mother who once was in
poverty raising my now three year old son. When my son was born, I did not have
a job, I had no income and I was struggling to take care of my newborn son. I
was on government food assistance and WIC. I promised myself that I was going
to make a better life for my son and I must say, I kept my promise. It feels
good that now I no longer have to rely on the system to take care of us to make
ends meet, but I am able to help someone in need. In America, we have so many young children
living in poverty roughly, “16 million” (NCCP.org).
Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI was also on public assistance when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was so grateful that it was available to me when I really needed it. It helped me get back on my feet and make a better life for my kids!
