DAILY SUPPORT

I have several factors within my daily environment that supports me and gives me strength each day which are:
Ø God-Faith
Ø My Family
Ø My Assistant
Ø My students
First of all I could not make it through the day without my faith and god strength. Through my faith I’m able to overcome obstacles and persevere through the stressors of everyday life. Without faith and my belief in God I don’t think I could make it through the day, how does anyone?



Secondly my family and my immediate family which consist of my husband and two children are a large part of my inspiration to make it through the day because I know when I get home I will be spending the evening with my life partner and two wonderful children.  I think sometimes what would my life be like without my two children and husband and I become frightened of the thought of not having them in my life.  My mother is also a great inspiration in my life, she has always been there for me to give me the love and support I need.  My mother lives about 30 minutes away from me but I speak with her at a minimum of twice a day. I also have a great support system within my extended family, my husband parents are very supportive and are very special people in my life that also help me with picking the kids up from school, running errands for me and may other favors they do for me when I’m not able to for myself.

Thirdly, my assistant is a supportive part of my daily routine. We have worked together for nearly ten years and have a fantastic relationship.  She is the type of person that I can depend on and she can depend on me which makes great teamwork.  My assistant never fails to jump in and lend a hand if I need help with something she is always there for me.  I could not imagine working with her, she is a God sent.



My job is rather challenging at times, but it’s such a rewarding and fulfilling profession. I look forward to going to my job each day and seeing all of the little similes on the faces of the children I serve daily.  If I’m a little down or need a laugh my children are always there to uplift me and my day is instantly better. I have often pondered over changing my profession, but I cannot see myself doing anything other than working in the educational field. Even as a little girl my favorite play was “being a teacher”.  


The benefits of these factors make my day better and they help me get through my sometimes challenging days. Again I just cannot imagine my life running smoothly without my faith in god, my family, my assistant and my students.

    I think it is all too important to have faith in something. Ours is in our god, but I find so many people lose their way in life because they do not have faith in anything. I also think that surrounding yourself with such supportive people makes a person stronger by having that positivity around them. I also share your thoughts on career choice, I have tried to get out of the field in the last 15 years, but here I am in it again. Too great to leave!

    Hi Betty,
    I love your blog. I too have a lot of support from my family and I love working with children. And also like you having a strong faith in GOD is a very large part of my life. I do believe God is why I am doing this class. I aready have a Masters degree but God lead me to take this class to get more information to be the best I can be.

    I greatly value family support. I can relate to your experience as I depend on the support of my spouse and mother as well. These relationships are very special in my life. It is great that you enjoy your profession and find it rewarding. This is a gift that not everyone gets the chance to experience.

    I enjoyed reading your post. I love that you put God and family as the most important supports in your life. I also consider those two to be my biggest supporters. Family is so important to me, so everything that I do on a daily basis is for them. I also live my life to serve God and make him proud of the choices that I make. I also find teaching to be such a rewarding profession, but one that takes numerous supports each day. We are very blessed to make a difference in the lives of children each day.
