My Supports



   Having support is a very important element in my life. Support is the ability to physically hold something together as well as the ability of a person to help hold someone physically as well as mentally. There are so many things in my life that gives me support. My support comes from so many things in my life.
   The first element of support is my spiritual support system. My belief in God has helped me through some hard phases of my life. I read the Bible and worship with my church family as well as pray to God for inner peace and guidance that helps me through the tough times in my life. Through my sense of true worship I know that no weapon formed against me shall prosper as well as I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
  Secondly I want to say that family support is very important to me. My parents are my first line of support. My father had a great impact on my life. I lost him this past April. He made sure that I had the solid fundamental foundation that has taken me from early childhood to my adult life. My mom is like my rock. I can talk to her and she will always listen without judgment. My mom is always there if I need something or her mental presence to get me through my day. I can count on her. My children and husband is always there for me also. They support me ad give me my space to study, learn and grow. They are a big help to me with taken up the slack when it come to the housework and many other things that I cannot focus on while I study and my transition to my new career.
  My third line of support is all of the elements that I depend on to make my life simpler. I depend on my ways of transportation to get me to and from my job. I also rely on the elements that help such as my cell phone and computer which help me with my studies and give the ability to communicate. I must say all of my friends give me support. I have friends that I can tell anything to or ask them for help and they will always be there for me no matter what. They do not ask me any questions or make me feel belittled.
   The challenge that I want to address is not being able to walk. I have had some friends and family members that lived through this. My father had trouble walking as his disease progressed. He had to use a wheel chair. This took a toll on him because he was so used to getting around on his own. He had more good days than bad days. I feel that this would in fact hurt my self-esteem. I am so used to getting around on my own. I would feel like a burden to my family and friends. I do not want to feel helpless and not needed. I know technology has come a long way. There are medical devices that can help people with spinal injuries and physical disabilities walk again and even for the first time. Support from others and instruments are a very important in my life. I am truly thankful for my support system.

Final Blog Lessoms Learned from the International Standpoint Of Early Childhood Education

Looking back over the past eight weeks I must say there has been a lot of important information presented about Early Childhood Education from the International front. I have learned a great deal. The first consequence that I have earned about was the very different different teaching strategies from around the world. The most important years of learning are from birth to 5 years of age. It is so important that we work to bridge the gap with organizations such as UNICEF that are working for the good of all children around the world. The second consequence that  have enhanced my learning was the way that some countries determine who is educated based on their gender. In some countries female children are not offered the same opportunity of an education because of their sex. This should not be. Every child is important and deserve an education. The third consequence that has broaden my educational position is the presence of situations of hunger, poverty and the absence of immun...

My Supports      I must say that I have a great support system within my life. I must start by talking about April 9 th 2017. On this day I lost one of the biggest and much needed cornerstone of my support system. It is the day I lost my father at church and I could not do anything about it. My father had grown to be an important part of my life. He was my confidant; he was my pastor, my dad when I needed to be his little girl again. My life changed forever on that day. I must say that my mom is the center of my system and my husband and three sons have become my cornerstones now. I can go to my mom with anything and she will help me through it. My husband and sons are there for me no matter what. They have seen me at my best and worst. I am the oldest child so I have had to endure some obstacles from my siblings and others this past year. My church family and my faith are also part of my support system. I can talk to my pastor and first lady about so many ...
