    Steps to establish communication in reference to outside of the United States: Save the Children and The Global Fund for Children.
   First, I went to the website link and observed some of the pictures that the link provided.Then, I went to eNewletter and signed up. Finally, I observed information in reference to sponsoring a child, read some information and is thinking about sponsoring a child.
    Global Fund for Children it took me a few minutes to find the right website to join the mailing list for information and updates but I did and The Global Fund for Children emailed me and thanked me for joining within 15 to 20 minutes.
     I am already a member of the Head Start Association because I am employed at a Headstart Program located in Baltimore.
     I also applied for membership @http://www.naccrra.org (National Association of Childcare Resource and Referral Agencies ) however, I am pending approval to become a member.
     I believe all three websites offer an abundance of information for all around the from becoming sponsors to helping children in need to just getting information on the wonderful services they provide for the children.

                                                                        Birthing Experience
When I was fourteen years old, I was told by the doctor that I am pregnant. I was scared.I was young still in school , about how am I going to care and provide for my baby? What will the birth feel like? How will my mother react to the news of pregnancy?
  Now it is time to deliver the baby. I was in labor for 19 hours, the contractions was painful and I was scared. The doctor said,'' push, push, now all you need is just one more big Push so I pushed .It was a girl but she had the umbilical cord around her neck therefore the doctor had to hurry up and cut the cord from around her neck than she started crying. I was relieved and the nurse gave her right to me to bond. This was a wonderful experience because I gave someone life.
  The impact on birth is bonding with the young babies. Bonding is very important!!!!

                                                                   " My Connection to Play"
                                 
It doesn't matter if you win or lose, It's how you play the game.
                                                                          Anonymous

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
                                                                       George Bernard Shaw

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.
                                                                                                        Plato

When I was younger, I remember play as being rules with games. I enjoyed being outside with my older cousins and the neighborhood children playing hot butter beans, doing cheers, playing jacks, hola hooping and jump roping however neighborhood parents over seeing because back than the saying was It takes a village to raise a child therefore every body looked out for everyone.Play was fun.You do not see this kind of play anymore.
                                                             " My Supports"

There are many supportive people in my life today but I am a person that I believe can handle any situation. I am a person that don't allow a lot of things to bother me and I also try to handle situation on my own however I do have some supportive people that I will open up to some times with different situations that I encounter in life today such as my mother , My three star chicks ,co-workers , children and FSC's (Family Service Coordinators).I am more of an independent person that don't ask people for anything.Being able to have these people behind me and being supportive is wonderful.

The only challenge I believe in my life is a position that was just thrown at me at my current place of employment.I never received a job description. I believe its extra paper-work with things to do but  my co- teacher is very supportive with everything that I have to do. She is my support for me to accomplish everything on a daily basis if I was not for my co-teacher as wonderful and understanding as she is I wouldn't know what I would do! I would not be ale to find things that I miss place. I would not be able to leave out the classroom to do the other bulk of things that is my responsibility to complete so I appreciate my co-teacher.She is so supportive of me.
