I have many support systems in my life. My husband is a huge support to me. My husband supports me by encouraging me,
loving me, respecting me, helping around the house and with our children. My husband is a great listener and always has
good advice when I ask for it. My
husband makes each day easier because he is so supportive. My children are always supporting me by
cheering for me in what ever it is I am trying to accomplish. My mother has always been a huge support in
my life. She has supported me through
good decisions and bad decisions. I have
always known that she loves me and supports me.
Another huge support in my life is a wonderful family friend and woman
who takes care of our children when we are working. Her name is Myrtie and she amazing! She supports me by taking great care of my
children while I am away which makes it much easier for me to focus on being a
great teacher. All of these people are
very important in my life and without them I would not be able to do everything
I do.
The challenge I chose to imagine is if I had a child in my
class who had cancer. I pray this is a
challenge I never have to face but I chose this challenge because this year I had
two siblings of former students get cancer and it really affected me. It made me think about what would I do if I
had a child in my class get cancer. I would need to be supportive for the
family of the child and for the other children in my classroom. I think it would be important for the
children in the classroom to stay connected to the other child by drawing
pictures and writing cards for that child.
I definitely would need all of the supports in my life to get through a
challenge like this. I would be
encouraged because I know my support system would be praying for the child, the
child’s family and for me! Their prayer
and support would be essential!!
