When I think about my daily
supports in my life, the first would have to be my faith in God. God is the
guide of my life and knowing that I can trust and believe in His word helps me
to manage in life daily. I start off my morning with the support of God’s word
by reading a Bible verse and committing to a daily devotional. This helps me
face life in a positive, loving way and be ready to achieve any tasks that may
come my way. Without this support, I would be lost, confusion, discouraged in
any goal I was trying to reach and would be hopeless in this world we live in.
Another support would be the emotional, physical, and
sometimes monetary support from family members. They help me by communicating
with me during ups and downs that I encounter in my life. They have provided me
at some time in my life a place to stay, positive conversations, and some
monetary help when I needed certain things, along with emotional support.
Without them I would feel that I was all alone. I wouldn’t have that shoulder I
need to lean on for comfort in my time of need.
Another important support would be my technology devices,
like my cell phone and laptop. These devices help me communicate with others,
stay on schedule, and do important homework assignments. They help me also keep
up with my social life and my friends, co-workers, and colleagues. Without
technology, my life would be at a whack. I couldn’t communicate as quickly,
stay on schedule, and just keep up with daily assignments and people that are
in my social life.
The support of my son Kingston helps keep me
motivated to keep pushing forward in life. He has given me a reason and purpose
to do my best, so he can have the best and not have to be faced with certain
challenges. He is my joy and the reason I am a part of this class today. I
don’t even want to imagine the support of his love being away from me. Without
him I would be lost, confused, and looking for a certain something to fill the
void and joy that only a child can bring.
I also need the basic supports that help me on a daily
basis. These are food, shelter, and clothes for me and my son. We need food to
nourish our bodies and keep us healthy. Shelter to protect us and keep us safe
and warm or cool, depending on the weather in Texas. Clothes to protect our
bodies and keep us warm/cool. Without these vital essentials, we would be
helpless, hungry, and homeless. I don’t want to even imagine life without them.
