My biggest supports in my daily environment are family and friends. My mother and father have supported me all of my life. In this present time, they support me by letting me live with them (for free) while I finish Graduate School. Their words of encouragement are always helpful whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed or down. My family has always supported my endeavors and have always encouraged me to do my best at whatever. My friends are always there when I need to talk and have always given me positive and constructive advice. When my friends aren't there to talk to, I always pray. My faith in God has gotten me through a lot these past few years. I believe without these supports I wouldn't be the person I am today. I thank God for placing such a great support system in my life.
A specific challenge that I am currently dealing with is school and work. I've recently just started a new job and going to school online is something new to me. It has been a struggle managing both, because they both are demanding. It has been kind of overwhelming, but encouraging words from my family and friends especially my mother have inspired me to keep pushing forward through both my career and education.
It is wonderful to have such a great support system! You said a challenge for you is dealing with school and work, but I think that that you could even consider your schooling a support, it gives you the knowledge and confidence in your skills to do your work everyday, and also because of the online delivery method you are able to work. I think it would be so easy to just go to school, but for so many of us it is not an option...I just keep telling myself that all the hard work we are doing will pay off in the long run, and will make us stronger, keep up the great work!
