The Houston area daycare fire has had an impact on many people not only across Texas, but across the world. This fire as impacted me as a future educator because I know that many innocent lives were lost in a fire that could have been avoided. The fire impacts me personally because I undersand that this situation could have happened to any child in my family, although I do not have children of my own, I am sympathetic to the parents of the children who lost their lives because I know how precious the life of a child is. Taking early childhood education courses has helped me understand more about an early childhood center and elementary schools and I know that this situation could have been prevented.
