My Supports

When I think of support, I think of one person, my fiance Ryan. Ryan and I have been together for almost five years and he keeps me going in all types of ways. He is there for me financially, he is constantly helping with our daughter, he supports my educational progression and he assists with tasks around our apartment. He is an emotional support every day through the good and rough times. I have realized recently that without all these supports I would be in a much different situation. He is a positive support in my life. 

The challenge I chose to imagine was: my fiance got sick and was unable to work. We did not have any answers from doctors about why he was sick. I would need support from both our families, emotional and physical support. I would need their help watching our daughter while we spent time with the doctors and appointments. We would need financial support, as he is the main bread winner and my income would not hold our bills for very long. 

The supports I have in my life are desired but not necessary. I was taught to fight for what I need and desire. With that said, some support is always needed. It may be in the form of physical help to keep a home clean and function, it may be in someone watching your children to allow you to work. I am truly thankful for all the support I receive from family and friends to achieve my dreams.
