It is without a doubt in mind that my support is my husband . As I look at my husband being a supportive factor in my life, I can describe him as being a tower of strength to me. He has always been beside me giving me encouraging words as it relates to emotional, physical, social well being and most important financially. The benefits for having these supports are indeed of utmost importance and vital to my life as an independent individual because in life one can be faced with numerous challenges that might be more than what he or she can manage independently. Therefore, its a joyous feeling to know that you can have someone to share your needs and desires with that can give you encouraging words to build your self- esteem and confidence. However, without having these supports I can truly say that it would be very challenging as well as confusing not knowing what to do at times because there comes a point in life wherein you are faced with situations wherein you just don't know what to do inorder to find a suitable solution. Therefore, I would not even want to think about what impact it would have if he was not around.
The challenge that I chose to imagine is being a single- parent. I| personally think that it would be a very big challenge for me because at times it is rather challenging to be a mom, teacher, wife and additional chores. In having my husband around as a supportive factor, everything is balanced as we share chores, ideas to accomplish dersired needs and want. This I must say is very beneficial.
Hi Latoya I see one of your fears is being a single parent. If I may ask why is this a fear due to past experiences or that you just don't think you would be able to handle being a single parent? I understand that being a single parent is challenging but this is where a good support system is good to have.
ReplyDeleteI also fear being a single parent because I rely on my husband for so much and he relies on me as well. We motivate, encourage, and help each other daily. I rely on him as a major part of my support system and he helps me to focus. Raising my daughter would also be a challenge if I did not have him. I am a high school teacher and a student and it takes a lot of time to prepare lessons and do homework. I agree that having the support is very beneficial. I enjoyed reading your post.
