~ My parents are supportive because if there is anything that I shall need, they will do their best to ensure that I have it. They are there for me and my family through think and thin. My parents are constantly on their knees praying for me and my family. That is the most important support for me.
~My husband supports me on a daily basis as well. He is always there to listen to me being nonjudgemental. He is there to rub my feet after a long day of hard work. He is always there to ensure that we have all of our necessities and wants. Most of all, he reminds me at least weekly, why he chose me to be his wife and that he loves me to pieces. Having support from my husband gives me the strength to press on each day.
~My daughter supports me by being patient while I do homework and be doing her best in school.
~My Ipad simply does it all. I can do homework assignments and attend classes while on the run. I have a note pad on the Ipad for taking notes and reading them when I need to. The Ipad connects to the internet therefore I can search the web, check on the weather, watch movies, and much more. The Ipad is simply a mini computer that includes all of my personal book and books that are related to my job.
~My best friend is supportive because she is there to listen when I need to talk about things that my husband may not understand. She is also there to provide me with advice. She supports me regardless of how she may feel about a particular situation.
~Last but yet importantly, my supervisor supports me by assisting me with the tools that I need to be successful at my job. She supports my decisions even when they are not always the best. She also gives me the support that I need to assist my employees.
All of the above supports have benefits. With the exception of the Ipad, they are make me feel valued and that I have a purpose. They make me feel as though I could do anything. When I feel positive, I am able to make others feel positive. The Ipad helps keep me on track and organized.However, the Ipad is the only thing that I could do without. It would be pretty difficult without having the people that I love dearly away on a daily basis. Although I am far away from my parents, I still talk with them on a daily basis. If I did not have all of the individuals above, it may be difficult to remain both positive and focused.
~The challenge that I chose to imagine is being the President of the United States.
I feel as though I would definitely need the support of my spouse and my family. I would also need the support of the American people as well as people from other countries. I would need secret agents and individuals to assist me in keeping up with all of things on my agenda. I would also need a second man to go to help make big decisions. (These are only a few)
These factors would also be there to help me stay focused and at times will believe in me when I may not believe in myself. They will be there for me when I feel as though others wont. Having the people on my side will make me feel as though regardless if a plan fails, they will know that I did my best.
without having the supports mentioned above, I may feel as though I do not have a chance and that it is too much to accomplish. Without the secret agents, i will for surly be a target for some that do not care for me. Without the Vice President (the second man/woman), I wont have that person to go to to think things through. And without the secretary (the person to keep me on track), I may loose track on the things on my agenda.
To sum it all up, it would be accurate to conclude that we all need a support system to help us remain focused. We need emotional support, physical support and practical support.
