~ My Support ~


In discussing my supports, there are many people that are supportive to me daily. First my greatest support would have to be my Family. My family as a whole have been there for me in all areas of my life, and have been there since day one. (My mom, sister, dad, grandma, and my aunt.) I am currently working two full jobs and they are very supportive. They help out with my kids a great deal. Working two jobs trying to provide and make a living for those girls and I, I have little time to share with them. They alternate days to keep them for me while I work. They make sure the are fed and school work is done. I just recently had to move back home with my parents because of financial and health problems and they were there with open arms to accept us back in to their homes. I have a very close-knit family, we have a strong bond with each other and yes, disagreements arise, and we have heated moments but we get passed that and have each other backs no matter what. My family is very important and I do not know what I would do without them in my life.

Next, my greatest support would be my friends. I have two bestfriends who have been there for me since my early adulthood life. We met in college as roommates and have been friends every since. We have been through good times and bad times. Especially going through the bad relationships with my kids father they have been there by my side encouraging and uplifting me. Even when they gave me advice about different situations and chose not to listen they did not turn their back on me or not once said "I told you so". Road trips together, Drinks, Laughs, and Fun!! We are always there for one another and down for whatever. I love them and I don't know what I would do without them as well.

My co-workers are also very supportive of me. We support each other. They are there to help me when I do not understand something or just need to talk. We constantly ask each other if it something we can do to make each other load lighter. At my second job they are supportive as well because they allow me to take breaks to catch on my school work, both jobs are very understanding and supportive of my dreams.

Last but not least, my church family is very supportive also. My faith in GOD plays a major role in my life. I am constantly praying to GOD for support, guidance, and strength. For I know I could not do anything without him in my life.

A challenge for me to imagine is that if all my support was gone, there would be no way possible to do things I needed to do in order to make a living for my kids and I. I would probably be a mental wreck with no hair.  My state of mind would be devastating and I would be depressed. I would hate for this to happen, I even hate thinking about it. Thank GOD for my support system.

  1. Jamill I really enjoyed reading your post. Having a great support system in place helps a great deal in the process of trying to succeed in life. My favorite part about your post is that once you finish discussing each support system you state a quote that refers to them. I find that very encouraging. Thank you so much for sharing.
