Personal Definition of "Support": To receive assistance from a person (family/friends/loved ones), place(church/rehabs/medical places/educational university), or thing(Bible/spoken word/music/books)
My daily envrionment:
Work- Other Classroom teacherers/supervisors/director/resource books
- I am provided support from the other teachers within my class, to collaborate ideas and stories from personal experiences.
-My Supervisor and Director provide me support from a leadership perspective, whereas if there's something that I don't understand and or need with a particular child; they will provide some alternative methods to try.
-I often look for and read resource books, because they provide so many different things to incorporate in self and within your classroom. For instance, there's always something new to learn, whether young or old.
* If my work environment supports were to disminish, I think I would be at a disadvantage temporairly; however I would be able to still remain successfully despite the newly arisen challenge. I would just have to work ten times harder, trying to meet deadlines by locating and completing paperwork.
Home- Family and friends:
- What more can I say besides, there's nobody like Family. They shall and will have your back through thick and thin.
* If my Personal supports were to disappear, I think I would be totally lost. Even though I don't necessairly depend on them 100percent, the help and assistance that they do provide me is greatly appreciated and always accepted.
Church- My Pastor/Bible/Mentor:
-These three have been selected as supports because I can go to either of the three with questions and find an answer. I also selected these three because of my deep religious background, and having grown up in the church; this is one place I have not strayed from, even with going away to college where I had nobody to force or command I get up and go to church, it was a self desire.
*If these supports were to disappear, I would be fine becasue i still have a personal relationship with my God, whom lives within me; in addition to knowing the WORD and having it to read daily.
One challenge is how to protect my fortune, after I get rich.
I would want and need a fianancial planner, tax advisor, and a life coach.
I would also use the power of Prayer, because I would donate some to my church as well.
I wouldn't use my work as a support nor friends, because everybody wants to be friendly when you come into money. Family would definetly be a support because I would spread some to each immediate member and nieces and nephews and godchildren and if I have my own children by then.
Colleague Sherrell:
ReplyDeleteI definitely like your practical approach to your supports. I am one hundred percent in agreement with you to keep God close to your heart as your total and ultimate Source/Support. He has never been known to fail anyone and he never will.Our family members as you have said will always have our backs.Thank God again, He gave us the family as our first line of support.Love your blog!
Sherrell,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you broke down each of the support systems in your life and how you listed the benefits of each one and the effects that happen if they were not there. I especially found your last one very interesting. One comment I would like to make is that having wealth is great, but consider this, those who were your friends before you become wealthy are probably going to be your friends regardless of your wealth, its the newly found supportive friends you have to be careful of. Hope you reach all your goals.
You did a great job on your post and explaining each one of your supports that you have in your daily life. I agree, that GOD is our number 1 supporter. God showed us that family comes first and then everything else comes later. With family and GOD by our side we can accomplish anything. Money is a wonderful thing to have and yes to live from day to day we need money to survive, but no matter if we have money or not our friends and family are going to stand by our side.
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job describing your supports and how each of them affects your life. I also like the challenge that you chose. It is a challenge for many people and they do not think about it until they are in the situation and it is too late. If people are not wise with their money now, they will never survive the pressures of having money.
