MY SUPPORT

As I reflected back on what the terms support means to me, I realize that I am very blessed to have a supportive family, co-workers, church family, community, and school-mates, and my students.  These people are very supportive in many ways.  Some are supportive on a daily basis while others are supportive when needed.  My family are supportive in many ways.  They are always there when I am up or down.  They provide me with words of wisdom, financial, emotional, physical support. My co-workers provide me with the support I need while on the job.  At the job, we are encourager's, advisers, and helpers to one another.  My classmates provide the necessary encouragement I need to get through the classes and assignments.  My students are more supportive than I can ever imagine.  They say just the right things at the right time.  They support me by provide me with the comfort of knowing that the depend on me. 

When I think about not having the support that I mentioned above, I just can not imagine how my life would be.  I don't feel that I would be as successful as I am with hearing "You can accomplish anything you but your mind to".  I believe that it would be very difficult to be motivated without the support of the people who means a lot to you.

The challenge I chose to imagine was being paralyzed on one side from a stroke.  I really don't know how I would be able to recover without the encouraging words from my parents, siblings, or children.  How would do daily activities without the initial assistance from the people who support me.  I just can not imagine the impact this would have on my life.

I am very fortunate and grateful to have the people in my life that support me the way they do.
