What does support means too me?
Supports means, having people in your life everyday that is there to support you through challenges, careers, crisis, disappointments or what ever you are going through. They build a rapport to make sure you stay on task by meeting these goals and challenges. They are the voices that you constantly hear.
My daily environment supporters are my family, friends, and co workers. They are my supports through emotionally, physically and intellectually. My family starts me off every morning with a "I love you" call. They tell me to have a great day. My sister is there to listen when I feel like I need to give up. She is my motivated, and supports me emotionally. My friends are they when I need the extra shoulder to lean on. My co-workers support me by working as a team and making our program a success.
I always wonder what I would do without these people in my life. I never want to feel alone, and they remind me constantly that they are there and will support me always. I benefit from the positive things that is provided throughout our conversations. They keep me motivated and striving for the best. Without these supporters, I would be lost. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost any of these supporters. I need to be able to express my self and for these supporters to be there to listen. I see things going down hill and me not accomplishing my goals. My life would be empty; an open space. I need them, and without them; I am nothing!
My biggest challenge is working a fulltime job, a part-time job and going to school. They are days when I just wake up and cry. I literally want to just stop! I get angry because I feel like I am missing out on life and everything that is around me. This is when those supporters jump in. They encourage me to keep moving forward. They remind me why I chose to return to school. They remind me of my goals that I always talk about. These people lift me up constantly. Again, I will say; I need these supporters to help me finish this challenge and complete my goals. I feel everyone need positive supporters. Everyone need some people that are there every day. I am a supporter to these people also. I play a big factor in there lives when they are struggling. My life will be invisible with out each and everyone of them.
As a teacher my students support me by giving me hugs, and smiles everyday. When IO walk in the classroom, I know that I am in the right place. I know that I have a purpose, and it is my students. My students teach me things, and we learn from each other. They know when my day is bad. They comfort me, by asking me; am I okay. Children can be the best supporters in the world.
