My Supports

My Support:
I have several support systems.  My primary support comes from family.  They are there for me and they help me to cope with the problems in my life.  My family provides emotional and financial support.  They understand that sometimes I need a word of encouragement and sometimes I need money to make it out of tough financial situations. 

My friends also provide emotional support.  Friends listen to your problems and they talk to you when you are in need of friendship.  Friends are just like family to me, and I would not be where I am today with the help and support of good friends. 

My teachers are a support system in school.  The teachers help me to complete my educational goals. They provide support and advice so that I complete my assignments on time. They also provide feedback that I can use to improve my future work.

Oddly, my phone is a support device.  I store important numbers in my phone and I have contacts that I can call when I need them.  I do not think that I could remember all of the numbers in my phone; therefore, my contact page makes it easy to stay in touch.  I also use my phone for driving directions and for messages.  I even download my email to my phone. 

Challenge:
A challenge for me would be to divorce my husband.  During this process, I would need support from my family and my friends.  I know that divorce is an emotional challenge and a financial strain.  I would have to find somewhere to live and I would have to deal with the court process.  Therefore, I would need financial support from my family and emotional support from my friends and family.  I would also rely on my bank and my job to work with me as move through this transition in my life.  Since I would have to move, I would need housing near my job.
