I have many supports that help me through my daily life. Some of these supports include my co-workers and a to-do list at work. Both of these supports help make sure that everything that needs to get done is and that the children are able to be in a happy, healthy environment. One of the most important supports is my family. They support me in many different ways. They are there to offer emotional support whenever I am going though a tough time and need someone to lean on. My parents are a great financial support when I need them as well. This fall I decided to take a job back home, which was 100 miles from where I was living. Without having place to live and not finding anything that was decent, and could afford they have let me stay with them. They also purchased a fixer-upper house that I will rent from them when it is finished. They are also a great support for fun and entertainment when I just need a break from work and school.
One challenge that would greatly impact me if it were gone would be the support of my family. Life would be tough without them. I would have much more work to do on my own. I have relied on my family to help me physically move my possessions many times. Without them I would have had to pay for someone else to do it or would have taken much longer. My current housing situation would be very different as well. I might not have ever made the move back home. That would have been a huge negative for me since I love my current job. If I did make the move I might have had to settle for a falling down house or apartment with very high rent. I am very thankful and blessed to have the supports that I do!
