Family
I have my family that will support me in any
and all ways that are needed. My mom
always has a gift for me when I come to her house or when she comes to my
house. Mind you it maybe something small
like laundry detergent or diet coke she has found on sale but it shows me that
she is always thinking of me. My dad is
equally supportive and comes over weekly to mow my grass and to provide maintenance
to my pool. They take my daughter to
school and pick her up each day. Anything I need they are right there…. One day they will no longer be here but it is
not an issue that I tend to put my energy towards. I am simply thankful each day for the days
that God has provided me with them. I
can don’t allow such thoughts because tomorrow is not promised to me and I may
leave this earth before them.
Co-Workers
I work in a very supportive
environment. My employees have the best
interest of our program and that provides me the support needed to ensure I
have a successful program. I can lean on
them for ideas. Currently there are two
of us pursuing our master’s degree. We
bounce our though processes off one another and proof-read one another’s
work. We both share in frustrations that
it takes to be successful in our programs.
Friends
They give time and a listening
ear. Old and new provide support.
Support through good and bad times.
Faith
In moments of doubt I lean on
my faith. Prayer gets me to where I need
to be. My life would lack meaning
without my faith and understanding. My
life would never be without it.
Challenge
Every day is a challenge. Juggling work, school and being a mom. All the support systems I listed above help
to keep me grounded. I have someone that
will care for my daughter when I need time to complete school work or just need
a little time for myself to provide balance.
School takes up a lot of personal time that I would otherwise have. Without having family, friends and faith I
would not have made it this far.
