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.
