Research that Benefits Children and Families

If I could do research that would impact families without the limitations of reality I would research only of the most deadly cancers for children, neuroblastoma.   In my research I would want to make extreme advances towards curing this cancer.  The impact of this for families would be huge.  The cancer usually presents itself in the late stage 4.  I would research ways to provide early detection so that current treatments would be more successful.  For families this would increase their child's chance of survival.  I can only imagine that families would be more hopeful with research information like this.

My Personal Research Journey

I have chosen equity in early childhood education as my research topic.  I chose this because as and early childhood administrator I have families from many different cultures and I would like to know how to better meet their needs and how I can guide my teachers in creating learning environments that are equitable.  Thus far in my research I seem to be finding a lot of helpful resources.  There are so many aspects that go into creating a equitable environment thus I for see that I may have trouble organizing my research.  Since I have chosen a topic that I feel will be beneficial to me currently in my career , I am looking forward to completing the research simulation not matter the bumps I may face along the way!
