I wake up every morning thankful for the people and support that I have in my life. The support that I have helps me work hard, do my job to the best of my ability, and knowing that I have someone there for me when I need them. No matter who you are everyone needs a support system to help keep one organized and on track, calm, and to help you through stressful situations to may occur in life.
I try to be a organized person and have everything I need just right and in a certain spot that way when I need it, I will know exactly where to look. I use calendars, planners and check list to help stay organized and prepared. Every morning I come in to work, I sit down with my assistance and we discuss what activities and task that need to be accomplished. I make a list of my task for the day and as I complete each one, I mark a line through it. As, I mark each task of one by one it makes me feel good and that I have worked hard to get my work done in a timely manner.
I am one of those people who gets stressed easily when something isn’t done the way, I had planned it and that is one thing I need to work on, but to keep me calm and focused on the task at hand, I EXERCISE!! This is the best way for me to regain my focus and look at the whole picture; it truly calms me right down. I enjoy going on long walks, jogging, and aerobics. Everyone needs time to them self just to relax and be worry free because if you didn’t the stress would be out of hand.
The back bone of my support however, is my family and friends. Whenever, I need someone to talk to about work, my worries and concerns, or just to enjoy someone’s company they are always there for me. This past year has been a roller coaster ride for me; I got engaged, I started classes, I bought my first house, and my brother and I had to face Cancer in our own ways. I found out about my cervical cancer and was scared, but 2 weeks later my younger brother was diagnosed with cancer as well. I worried more about him because his was so much worse. We supported each other through everything. As a family we stood strong for him and we were there for him no matter what. We kept a strong face as did he. The love and support of a family and the faith of God can do amazing things. This past weekend he has been cancer free for a year. It is amazing what a strong support system can get you through. I am so blessed and thankful for the support system of my family and friends.
I honestly wouldn’t know what to do without the love and support of my family and friends. I talk with them everyday or see them, they are there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on and vise versa, and we work together to stay a close and happy family. I have been through so much and I know without my family I would not have made it through the way I did. Without there support I would not be the person that I am today. I would be scared, very cautious, and I would not even have begun this course without my mother’s support. With a little love and support you can do amazing things in life.
