I am very thankful that
my life is filled with support. When I first went back to school I was a bit
hesitant. I was hesitant because I was worried about my computer crashing,
being too tired to complete work, and the thoughts of how my family would feel if
I went back to school. I needed many supports.
In my daily life I get
my support from my husband, Walden University, instructors and my children.
Without the support I do not think that I would have been able to go back to
school. Walden has offered me much support by making my transition to school
easier. In the beginning, the advisor walked me through everything. The
instructors at Walden have been very helpful and considerate whenever there was
a problem. My husband has supported me by encouraging me to do my best and allowing
me the uninterrupted time I have needed to complete my work. My children also
have supported me by taking on more responsibility at home so that I can have
time free to do my work.
In addition, my laptop
has been very helpful. I do not know if some of my support would have been as
supportive if I had to travel outside the home to go to school. My computer has
not let me down and I am grateful. I definitely could not get anything done
without my computer. Not having to drive somewhere to go to school has made all
the difference in the world.
In conclusion, we all
need support in our lives because it makes life a little easier. Having a
support system helps me to be a better person; I am less stressed and happier.
I imagine that if I had no support in my life then I would be a very sad
person.
I too was worried making the choice to return for furthering my education! Computer, professional life, family life, so many attributes that having these supports mean everything. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello Michele!
ReplyDeleteGreat post on support.It's so true we all support in our lives because it makes life a litte easier.
Michele,
ReplyDeleteI agree that supports definitely make our lives easier! I too depend on my computers for my school work. I remember becoming very nervous when I went through the tutorial for the school and everyone kept mentioning how their hard drive crashed or they lost their work the night before it was due. I too am thankful for the support of my family and friends as I pursue a graduate degree.
Hi Michele,
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful thing when children see how hard we work to be good parents. Congrats to your children for stepping up to assist you at home. Also I totally agree with Walden, being a great support to out lives throughout this Masters process.
