My Supports

Describe factors within your daily environment that are supportive to you, including the ways in which these factors provide support. Describe what you see as the benefits of these supports. How difficult would be to exist without these supports? What impact would they have on your life if they were gone?

The factors in my daily life are my daughter and granddaughter, and the way they have been supportive to me by encouragement, faith, love and they are the reasons why I am doing my best to pass and get my degree. Whenever, I get weary my daughter always tell me, that I can make it. My daughter Dipporah will take me to dinner or just say a kind words like “I love you mom.”  When I see little Leah Elizabeth, it makes me want to go a step farther. I will always be a positive role model for my family. When my husband asked me for a divorce, I never let my daughter Dipporah see me cry or being sad. She told me just the other day that she wants to be just like me. Out of all the situations I have been through, I still have joy. To me those are the most exciting words a daughter can say to her mother.

The benefits of these factors are that my daughter wants to be like me, a positive role model, and being an example to her daughter Leah Elizabeth.  It is essential for me to be a positive example in my daughter’s life this means I have helped someone. ‘’Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Another supported factor is that after she finished school she went and got a job to help me pay the bills. God knows that was a great support factor she did for her mom.

It would be very difficult because in everything you go through it is for a purpose, and if I did not have difficulties I would not know that they can be solved. I feel that when you go through difficulties it makes you stronger; it is an experience that makes you learn as you go through them. Life never promises that my life will be a bed of roses, but difficulties will surely come in my path way of life.  If I cannot pass the test that I go through it will be very difficult but if I go through the trails of life without, faith it will conquer me as lost. Another difficult factor paying bills, and supporting my families ‘after the divorce it took one paycheck out of the home, and now I have just one check coming into the house. That God for letting me get my degrees in early childhood education because if you do not have a degree there is less money coming into the home.

Share the challenge you chose to imagine and the thoughts you have with regard to supports you would want and need. Again, describe factors within yours daily environment would be supportive to you, including ways in which these factors would provide support. Describe what you see as the potential benefits of these supports. How difficult would it be to exist without these supports? The impact they would have on your life if they weren’t there?

The challenge I chose to imagine is if I did not have the support of my daughter, and granddaughter I would be lost.  I live in Blytheville, Arkansas I have no close relatives here all of them lives in Columbus, Mississippi. I have few first cousins and an aunt she had a stroke and cannot walk.  The few families I have here had different life styles than they all like earthly life styles.  The challenges I chose to imagine and the thoughts I have regard to supports is that there will be no one to support me. Because no one comes to visit me and whatever, people do for I have to pay them.  I think that the support I would need is being around enthusiastic speaker communication. Because most people know I’m a confident communicator and they know that I like to set my environment as positive as it can be. I do not like being around negative people. My daughter help to me pay bills well really I let her save her money and if she want to buy herself something she buys herself instead of me buying it.
