Supports are essential to everyone to maintain a certain sense of calm in their lives. Some are physical and some are just object that keep the world flowing semi normally. I see my supports as the battery to my favorite toy. If you keep me charged I run smoothly, if you take the batteries out i'm missing an important piece of me and don't function well or at all. My supports are as stated below along with what would happen to me if I didn't have these supports in my life.
Vehicle- My single most reliable mode of getting around. Whether it's to work, running errands, or just getting away for the weekend to see family, friends, concerts, etc. This is what keeps me moving. Without my vehicle I'm not completely lost because their are other modes of transportation, but it makes it increasingly difficult to get around. I would need to rely on public transportation which isn't always the most reliable. Travelling would cost more money as I would need to fly, or take a train/bus. Needless to say, I need my car!
Job- My financial stability; this also gives me experience within the field I would like to be in for the future. Everything would fall a part if I didn't have money. I would be in search of another job that may or may not make me happy.
School- This provides me with the education I need to reach my future career goals. Without my education I wouldn't be able to reach the goals I would like, however, I would find an alternate route to achieve something else that would make me happy.
Family- My backbone; They step with me always. Friends are included in this as well. They provide the comedy, drama, and even stress relief that I need to socialize in life. Without them I would be very lonely and even possibly depressed because I would have anyone to communicate with.
Overall these are the links in my life that keep me whole...if one link is missing I cannot connect to make a full circle of continuity.
I didnt think about my car as being a part of my support but you are SOOOO right!
ReplyDeleteI always say a vehicle is your best friend or your worse enemy depending on it's functioning.
Hello Jazmine M,
ReplyDeleteYes, family can be an important backbone and support system. Without family, you may not be motivated to strive forward in progressing in your academic journey. Family enables us to have that social connection and emotional connection that stimulates our well-being. In other words, family keeps us sane. It is also interesting that you chose education as a support. I can agree with you that education does provide you with the access needed to work as an early childhood professional.

Jazmine, I also agree with you family can be a great support. I know for me, my family have been my greatest support. I can always count on them. When I've had a rough day, the love they give me strengthens me and allows me to rise any situation I may have encountered that day. I can't imagine not having them in my corner. I also like how you mentioned job. Yes, my job is a great support system as well.

Jazmine,
ReplyDeleteI like how you added several different supports. I focused on my family support but realize that other things can be supports because of your post. Without these things we would surely lack support. Great post!

Jazmine, the more blog posts I'm reading the more I realize that I too have other supports in my life than people. I think I didn't see it that way because my family is my rock, and I know with work and family along my day would be crazy with my supports. Great and interesting way of putting supports into perspectives.
ReplyDeleteJazmine,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your most important supports and it really made me think how thankful I am. The things are very important and you really cannot have one without the other one. It is really special to have a very supportive family as well.
Jazmine,
ReplyDeleteMy family is too my backbone and main support system in my life. I am glad you shared your vehicle as a support system because I shared my phone as a support system. My phone is supportive because it allows me to stay in contact, anywhere that I am, with my children, husband, family and friends.
