My Supports

When you pause and think for a minute, you really begin to realize that we all need supports. In my everyday living, I am quite thankful for the supports that I receive. One support that does me well is the moral support that I receive from my wonderful husband.  There are some days when I feel as if my world is about to fall apart and he always knows just what to say and when to say it.  Also, on those days when I am rushing out to get to work, it is difficult for me to feed myself, even though I have prepared breakfast and made sure that everyone else has eaten.  Just as I open my mouth to ask him to fix me something, he just patiently says,"I fixed it already." I receive that type of physical support from him, as well.  Even though he does not cook, he always keeps the laundry done and the house clean.  I am ever so thankful for the much needed support he provides.

Also, with moral support, I receive a great deal from my sisters and my mom.  We are a close family that consists of seven girls and three boys. With our busy schedules, we always mange to talk at some point during the day. We discuss our daily problems as well as offer encouragement and advice to one another.  I feel my sisters and my mom are the best friends I could ever have.

Just as the supports I have mentioned above, they are much needed within the world of early childhood. Parents, students, and teachers all need the support of each other.  That is why we much work with each other to help each other. When we help each other, success will always be that end result.  We, as educators, need to strive to provide more support to each other, to our students, and to our families and parents.
