My Support

 



My daily support consist of three major groups my co-workers, my family and friends. Monday-Friday there are a group of ladies at my job that lifts me up in different ways. Being a techer at times you can feel overwhelmed, mentally drained and can feel defeated at times. These ladies help to encourage my spirit, provideme with different techniques with teaching a particuliar unit/ dealing with an difficult situation/ parent. They also provide me with laughter or an ear to listen when needed. 
One of my best friend
(Danielle)
She keeps my life interesting and up to date. 😊😀 She also adds to my life in a positive way.Even though she has moved to the West Coast she always find time to makes sure that I am on top of my game.Whether it is in me working, encouraging me to take time for myself, relationship advice or just some good old fashion girl talk. She always keep it real with me even if I am wrong. 

Family
My family keeps me on my toes. 😀😀😀 When they see me getting to comfortable with my situation. They push me and remind me of my goals. They also will help provide things that I need because they seed that I won't do it for myself, cause I am always taking care of everyone else. 

Benefits of Supports
For majority of the time, my co-workers make coming to work enjoyable. They have helped me through some stressful times in my life. They also provide different creative ways of thinking or doing activities in the classroom. I have learned so much from each one of these ladies made me a better teacher. My family provide me with a safe place and security. Best Friend she keeps my life interesting and up to date. She also adds to my life in a positive way.

How difficult will it be to exist without these supports?
My life without these supports would be a hot mess. I wouldn't have accomplished half of what I have accomplished already. I would have been still trying to figure out who am I and my purpose.

What impact would they have on my life if they were gone?
If these supports were gone from my life, it would be hard to adjust, but I would adjust. They have given me such a strong and solid foundation, That I would be able to stand and funtion everyday just like if they were still with me. I would use what each one of them have given me and continue to strive and accomlish my goals.

Childhood Connections to Play

 

I love this quote! Cause I always felt like if your play/ have fun hard. Then children really have accomplished their job fo the day.

I remembered this as a child. I had a little girl cabbage patch kid doll, that came with her very own birth certificate and a large chalk board for me to write on. I remembered I used to draw and do games and writing on that board.
Man. I loved this stuffed animal/ ball. We used to kick and throw this poppel all over the house. I still have mine! This is one of the few things that I have from my childhood. I have this exact same one as my brother have the white one.

This is another toy that I enjoyed as a child. The Litee-Brite. This game was so fun to create different things and have it glow up as you made your creation. 


By far today's play is very different from mine. I am and 80's baby. We had to rely more on our imagination. And the toys that we played with was not that far technology advanced. Play as I grew up was more interesting, exciteting. We had more exploration on figuring things out. We did more hands on investigation, as of now children can investigate on the web and not actually put in the physical work on knowing exactly how things work. And our play forced us to be more socially face to face interaction. So we had to have verbal conversations with each other. Now must things are done by email, text or some sort of social platform that the children as well as adults do not know how to interact with each other.
