My Supports

Within my daily environment there are several support factors that I rely on through out the day. They are

• Calendars (for scheduling different activities and appointments)
• Notes (to remember things I need to accomplish in my day)
• Employment (so that I will have the monetary means to support my family)
• Vehicles (so I may get to here and there)
• Relationships with children, family, and friends (so that I can have emotional support)
• My realtionship with Jesus Christ (sustains me through out all I go through in life)

All these supports assist me in my daily life and help me accomplish necessary things. If these supports were avaliable to me I more than likely would forget appointments I schedule in advance and forget to do half the things that I need to accomplish each day. If the support of relationships were not avalible to me I would find it very hard to push forth through difficult times in my life. Although I would make it if some supports such as calendars, notes, employment, or my vehicle were out of my life, difficulty as it may be the one support that I could not do without is that of realtionships to my children, family, friends, and most importantly my relationship with Jesus Christ.

My imaginary challenge is loss of my right hand. I would imagine that this challenge would require many supports. I believe a challenge of this magnitude would require me to have physical support of others to help me in daily activities at certain times; I would require supports of doctors to assist me in any prosthetic endeavours, I would need emotional supports from family and friends, along with physical supports to help me accomplish things that may be difficult to do with one hand. The impact of not having these supports in my life would be negative; I believe that I would feel like an outcast if I were not able to do the things I see others doing and would make me feel unloved if I did not have the support of family and friends.
