Positive relationships are important to me because sometimes you just need someone to vent to and relate to. My close friends and I have a group text message and we talk about so many things throughout the day. If one of us is having a bad day, we encourage each other to keep our heads up and offer help. I believe that relationships are important because sometimes someone needs that extra ump.
My most positive relationship right now are with my family (mom, dad, two brothers, sister-in-law, grandparents, nephew) my friends (Anna, Alex, Destinee, Bella, and Melanie) and my church family. Most things that I go through I share with my parents, siblings, and friends. They really help me through a lot of my problems. My mom is my best friend, I really can talk to her about anything and I appreciate her opinion. She is really understanding and no matter how bad I mess up she is still supportive. I don't share as much with my dad or my brothers , but we do talk about a lot of things. Since they are men, I don't expect them to understand most of my problems. My church family is highly supportive. When I was younger, I cried during every Easter and Christmas speech; they help me overcome my fear of public speaking. They encouraged me every Easter and Christmas. They were big on getting good grades in school and supporting those who struggled. Every six weeks they would give out rewards for making honor roll and principal's list. I believe it made the children in our church strive harder to get those rewards. I appreciate my relationships with my friends because we have different views and we our very outspoken with our opinions and views. No matter what those opinions are even though we might disagree on some things we are understanding.
I believe that trust is a major challenge in developing and maintaining relationships. Throughout the years I've learned that everyone is not your friend and everyone doesn't have your best interest at heart. I believe that actions speak louder than words and true colors will come out, you just have to recognize the signs.
I believe that my positive relationships with my family, friends, and church family will have a great impact in the field of early childhood education. I believe that you have to be very understanding, emphatic to people's situations, and encouraging.
