My Supports

I am supported by so much when I look around many things are needed on a daily basis for me to function. My first support is having a sound mind and healthy body. These are very important and I depend on them everyday. Without a sound mind and healthy body I would not be able to carryout any tasks that are necessary for my life. My life would be solely dependent on others to make all decisions for me. Another support that is my family, my husband; children; and  parents.My husband works hard everyday to support our family and make sure that bills are being paid. Without this support things would be much harder for me and the kids and I would not be able to spend much time with the kids because I would have to work majority of the time to support them, rather than just meeting him half way. My parents are a great support around for me and my family. They are always willing to care for my children when we need care child, if we need monetarily they are right there with no questions. My parents also encourage me to keep going and to strive to be the best daughter, wife, and mother that I can be. They are very important and without them I don't know if I would have pushed myself this far this quickly. I probably would have given up before a bachelors degree. Another support is my vehicle. My car is what allows me and my husband to make make to support our family. Our vehicles also allows us to get to important places such the church, store, doctors appointments, and anywhere else we need to go. This is very important because everyone needs a mode of transportation. Where I live things are not in walking distant and therefore require a mode of transportation to get there.Without our vehicles, the jobs we have would be a struggle to get to everyday because they are so far, also caring for my children would be more difficult because I would depend on someone else to move me from place to place. Another support that is important is our grocery store that supplies me family with good daily. Its very important that we maintain a healthy meal daily. Without the grocery store we have to grow our own goods, which would take much work and land. Just know that this is a big support because we have to eat. My last support would be the internet. Life has evolved so much over the years, and the internet has become so big. Everything is so readily available via internet. I can look up things that I don't know very quickly, learn new things, and can get important things done such an master's degree, job application. This is very important because be a working wife, and mother of two keeps me very busy, but the internet allows me to still further my education without having to go to classes and taking too much time away from other duties of life. Without the internet I wouldn't be in this class, I could file out applications form home, or find answers at the the click of a button. My supports get me through daily and without life would be much different.
A challenge that I chose to imagine is life without a grocery store. Things would be much harder and time would have to be allotted to harvest goods. I feel like the benefits of this would bring my family closer and appreciate the goods that readily available to us everyday.
