My Supports

My family
      My family gets me through all the hard times in my life. Without my husband, I don’t know what I would be doing with my life. He has supported me in going back to school and encouraging me to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. My parents are always here for me when I need them. My mother is a phone call away and I am constantly talking to her and asking for advice. These are the people that keep me going throughout the day.
My Computer
      My computer is a major support for me. I am constantly on it to keep in touch with friends and family. It also helps me do the research that I need for my classes. School used to be so easy for me. Now working on my master’s degree, I constantly have to look up more information on the topics we are talking about. Without my computer, I feel that I would be lost in the world.


My Animals
      My animals seem to always know when I need them. Even now as I am stressing over my school work, my cat is sitting in my arms purring away. They bring happiness to my life and remind me that life can be so simple.

I am unemployed for the second time since graduating with my bachelor’s degree in 2008. It has been my family, my animals, and my computer that has kept me going. My husband is always supporting me and reminding me that my time will come and I will have a job that I love. My parents are supporting me emotionally and financially when things get tough. My husband and I have given up so much to make ends meet that the computer is a major support system for us both. It is our time to get away and not stress about the things that are happening in our life. Our animals are the reason that I feel I have a purpose right now. Recently our cat had become very ill and it was my job to get her better. Now we have six kittens that we found in our yard, and it is my job to find them good homes and care for them. Even through this tough time, I forget about it all because of the supports in my life. Without these supports, I feel that I would be walking around with a frown on my face. I wouldn't be able to see the happiness in life and be striving to better myself as a person and as a professional. I see myself being stuck at a dead end job and being miserable.
