My Supports...


                Obtaining my masters degree is a difficult task, but I have a great support system where I am surrounded by people who love me and want to see me do well.  The most important thing in my circle of success is my faith.  My faith supports me because I realize that with God I can do all things.  The benefit to having faith is knowing that I can succeed and I am just as good as the person beside.  It is difficult because faith is believing without ever seeing.  My motivation is realizing without faith, the size of a mustard seed, I will fail.  Next, I really appreciate my family and all that they do for me.  God blessed me with a wonderful set of parents, and two dynamic older brothers.  They all have supported me every step of the way, whether it is providing me with advice or pushing me further with motivation of informing me that I can do it.  From having their supported I have benefited in having a higher level of self-esteem.  It would be hard to succeed if I did not have the people who have supported me from day one in my life.  I can't imagine ever having to live my life without each and every member of my family.  I used to pray and ask God continuously for a little sister.  But, today I know that even without that sister, God gave me exactly what I needed to survive. 

            The third factor that I am so thankful is my job.  My job supports the experience that is gained through working in childcare.  The benefits through working in the same field that you are studying about in school is being able to see firsthand the objectives that are being taught through your professors.  It would be difficult to learn about an area that you have no experience in because you would have to imagine everything.  If I had a job in another field it would be hard to have learned and obtained the wealth of knowledge that I have gathered.  Finally, school is the last factor, but most certainly is not the least factor.  School has supported me to explore and discover more about my area of passion.  Through attending Walden University I have gained a wealth of resources through discovering you never attend a seminar without obtaining at least one thing you can take away from it.  My life would be so much different if I were not in school trying to achieve my goals.  All of my success comes from attending school.  Without school in I would be considered ordinary, with school I am considered extraordinary.

    I agree that education makes us extraordinary. I love that line. As students and professionals we are always learning and growing and we are a support system to each other, that is very important. ;)

  2. Hi Tymeshia,
    It is such an awesome thing to have faith and family to help us through life! We don't realize how many supports we actually have through a given day. When we stop and look around we have a tremendous about of support and I think that we also need to help our families realize their supports.

  3. Good Post Tymeshia,
    You are correct in stating that our college courses has supported us to explore and discover more about our area of passion. I have gained so much more insight and knowledge about the early childhood field and the best thing about it for me is, I can take this knowledge that I gained and use it for the position that I work in. What a great support system!.

  4. Hi Tymeshia,

    I like that you listed school as a support. I did not consider that, but it most certainly has been for me. I'm curious to know what scenario you imagined for the second part of the assignment since you think very creatively!
