My Supports


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.

  3. Michele,

    I 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.

  4. Hi Michele,

    It'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.
