My Support

My support system means everything to me.  I am the person that I am today because of my supports.

My mother is so supportive.  She is truly the wind beneath my wings.  She supports me by giving her love and support in all of my endeavors.  She supports me financially although I am now on my own.  She supports me by giving me the best advice in the world.  She has supported me by allowing my dreams to become her dreams.  Whatever I set out to do my mother has always been the one that backed me 100% and more.   I have great benefits because of her support.  I have graduated from high school and college because she supported me.  I am a passionate and caring person because she showed me so much love and support.  The best benefit that has come from her support is that I am reaching my full potential as a person.  Her goal was to make sure that I was able to become a productive person in society.  This mission is being accomplished.  Without her support I truly don’t know where I would be.  I just can’t even think of a time when she wasn’t there for me.  My mother would definitely have a great impact on my life when she is gone.  I know that she will leave me with good morals and values.  She will leave me with the most precious gift of all the ability to love and to be compassionate.   She will leave me with the ability to care for and nurture my children and to instill good morals and values in them.  She will also leave me with the ability to respect and love God. 

My cousin Abe is also supportive.  He is the younger version of my mother.  I always tell him that he is only three years older than I am and he laughs softly.  He is so wise beyond his years.  He supports me by encouraging me to continue my education.  We talk about goals, careers, and life more than any young people that I know.  He also supports me financially.  If I need money I can always call on him for assistance.  I am benefiting from his encouragement and support today because he encouraged me to enroll in Walden University to receive my Master’s degree.  This will be a big benefit for my future.  I will be able to make one of my dreams a reality and that is to own my own child care facility or to become an educator.

My co-workers are very supportive.  I am the new kid on the block on my job.  All of my co-workers support me by making sure that I have the knowledge and resources to do my job effectively.  They support me by making sure that my job is done when I am away.  I have benefited greatly from some of the older co-workers because they bring so much knowledge about the job.  They are enhancing my skills and giving the drive I need to succeed.   I could exist without them but it would be hard to and it would take a lot of additional time to learn what they have already taught me.  They impact my life by allowing me to see that hard work and dedication pays off. 

My personal friend is very supportive as well.  He supports me by being the one that I can talk to when I’m not having such a great day.  He is always there to listen.  His love that he shows makes me feel I can relax and be at ease about most situations that arise in my life.  He supports me by just being there for me.  The benefit of his support is that I have formed a lasting friend/relationship with the person that I love.   I think it would be kind of difficult if I didn’t have his support but I will still be able to exist without him.  The impact that he would leave with me if he was gone is to not be afraid to love again because we always talk about what would happen if one of us were not around for the other. 

 My challenge would have to be my future goal of owning and opening up my own child care facility.   My career goal to me will definitely be a challenge.  In order to make this goal become a reality, I will need financial support, my own attorney, and a good office manager.  I truly believe that I am very capable of making my career goal a reality.  My mother and my cousin will be a great support system.  My mother is an accountant and my cousin is a lawyer.  They are both supports that I know I can depend on.  I will definitely need to complete my course work at Walden University in order to have all the necessary skills that I need in order to run a successful child care facility.  Today Walden is a support because they are giving me the knowledge that I will need to successfully open up my own child care facility.  If Walden University was gone I would have to rely on another institution for my degree.  I don't know if I would get the professionalism and integrity that I am receiving from this institution.

My mother can assist me with the office and payroll and my cousin can give me legal advice in whatever aspect I will need it.  I will benefit from this because I will not have to pay them.  They will support me in whatever way they can to help me succeed in life.  If these two people were gone it would be a big challenge for me to do this alone.  I would need extra money to hire an attorney and an accountant.  By having my mother and my cousin I will benefit because I know that they both have my best interest at heart and I will not need as much start up money because I know that they will not ask to be paid.
