Support is defined as to keep from weakening or failing, to strengthen. A support system is what keeps us functioning, someone to experience life with and help us with our challenges. Everyone has something or someone they depend on to get through life.
My support:
My parents are my biggest supporters. I speak to them at least once a day, even if it is my dad calling just to say "Hi" it is always nice to hear from them. They are the sounding board when needed and the life advice when not so wanted, but with their support I have become the person I am today. It is very important for me to have the support of my parents because I know they are always on my side and in my corner when life gets bumpy. If they were not to be so supportive, I don't think I would be able to function. I have become very dependent on their support, it would make the days long and difficult to not have someone to share my experiences with.
Challenge:
The challenge I selected was if I had lost my vision. So much of our world is experienced through the sense of sight. As I imagined what it would be like to be blind in my daily life, so many things would have to be changed. I would need someone to drive me to work, to describe what is going on in my surroundings and to even help me get dressed. We take for granted what beautiful things we get to see everyday, it would be very sad to never be able to see the sunset again.

Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteBased on your challenge, I agree that you would need family and friends to help you deal with blindness. This is why we have support systems becuase they help us to make it through rough times.
