My Support

I would be nothing without my family and friends! I need them, they are my support, they help me with my everyday challenges. Without them it would be hard for me to take chances and make steps in my life. My sister-in-law who is one of my best friends encouraged me to go back to school, which is why I am at Walden now. If it wasn't for her I would if doubted myself, and I don't know if I would ever have gone back. I am also starting a new job this week, and it is a big step in my career, I was nervous about taking it because I am leaving my stable job of 6 years. It is scary and I thought back and forth about it for a while, unsure if I would take it. With the support of my family and friends I took the step to take the job, I am scared, but they are helping me and reassuring me that I will be great! I love them and I hope they continue to support me in whatever I do.

It would be hard to imagine my life without support from my family and friends. If I did not have them I would be lost. I can not imagine my life without them. I feel like I would not be able to be confident in important decisions that I make.


I think it would be hard for me if I was hearing impaired. Right now hearing loss runs in my family, my grandmother is practically deaf, she can not hear without hearing aids and even with them she doesn't hear well. I think about the support she needs on a daily basis, she relays on us to make her doctors appointments, make all of her phone calls, and even help her understand what people are saying when they are talking to her. We also have to leave her notes and I feel bad because she gets so frustrated that she cannot hear what we are saying and she doesn't understand us when we are all having a conversation. I think about the support that she needs just to get by everyday and it makes me sad because she cannot relay on herself to get through the day. Through it all she is still positive and happy, and I admire her for that.
