MY SUPPORTS

Your life revolves around your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well being. I am blessed to have strong relationships that help promote a healthy lifestyle. Physically I get support from the use of a knee brace on my right leg. I use the brace when I know that I will be on my feet for long periods of time. The brace enables me to successfully fulfilll my duties as a teacher and also gives me support when I walk for exercise. Mentally and spiritually I receive support from reading the Bible and attending worship services with my family and friends. I grew up in a religious family and have always been surrounded by those who believe in God. When I am unable to attend Church or worship, I feel that something is missing out of my day. It would be extremely challenging for me if I had to give up my faith and religious beliefs. They give me inner peace which enables me to have a balanced life so that I am able to help others. Financially and emotionally my support comes from my job and my family. Although I only work part time, I am thankful to have an income to help support my family. My husband is very supportive financially and also emotionally. He is a giver and will give you his last if you need it. He also keeps me from being stressed out by reminding me about our many blessings. Supportive to me means that there is always someone or something to give you stability. That stability makes you the person you are or the person you hope to become.
