Brown, Aqila M

Abstract Details

2014, Master of Arts in Education, University of Akron, Educational Foundations-Social/Philosophical Foundations of Education.
This research project was an exploratory study of one participant's perspective on her personal experience with the Head Start program. Through an open-ended interview, the participant provided a self-report regarding the long-term impact of the Head Start program on her lifelong development. More specifically, the participant believes that her childhood experiences in the Head Start program affected her to such an extent, that as an adult, she is now able to (1) maintain a source of continuous, accessible, coordinated health care; (2) acquire adequate knowledge for improving her nutritional habits; (3) acquire the skills, knowledge, and attitude necessary for success in school, workplace, and life; and (4) overcome varied barriers to her success in personal and professional development.
