My Supports

         I believe that it is very important in life to have people in your corner who supports you. When I think about my support system, I think about my mom, my daughter and, my boyfriend. My mom is like my best friend, we have a very close relationship. I can talk with her about anything. She provides me with the best advice, even though sometimes I may not agree. I know that she has my best interest in heart and she only want what is best for me.  My boyfriend and I have been dating for a few years now and I cannot imagine spending my life with no one else.  When deciding to go back to school he was one of my biggest supporters. What I really admire about him is that he knows just how to keep a smile on my face. My daughter supports me just by her presence. She is a great motivator. When I see my child I think about providing a better life for her and being the best parent that I can be. I absolutely love how helpful she is. It is the little things that she takes proud in. Helping me cook, cleaning her room and, getting dressed for the day just to name a few. I can only imagine when she becomes old how much more helpful she will be.

I become teary eyed when I think about not having these people a part of my life. Each of these individuals support me all in a unique way. This past week I went to my doctor’s appointment and I did not receive the best news, but things could have been worst. I was emotionally upset about the news that I received, and I only thought of the worst. When I shared the news with my mom and boyfriend they immediately helped bring out the good in the situation. They both shared ways “we” could work together to fix the problem. If it was not for them I would not be so determined to become a healthier me.
