My Supports

My family is my biggest support system and I don't know what I would do without them. My mother is my biggest cheerleader and she will go to the ends of the earth for me. My family supports me in anything that I choose to do in life and I thank God for them. They help me with my first child especially if I need a babysitter.

My boyfriend is my big support as well; when it snows outside he makes sure I get to work because he drives.  He helps me out around the house with house work.  I love this man with all my heart and glad that he is in my life.

My coworkers are my support system also we help each other out so much. We cover each other's rooms when they are short staff and take each other children in the afternoon. We support each other even in our personal lives without my coworkers it would be harder to take days off or just get a break.

I'm currently pregnant with my first child and although I have a adopted child if I didn't have the support of my mother I don't know what I would do. My mother is my heart and if I was to lose her I would be lost in the world.  My mother means the world to me and I can't imagine life without her. I cry just thinking about losing her and how it would be without her.

Play and its Importance

The role of play during my childhood was extremely important and was something that I looked forward to everyday as a child. Play was encouraged by my family members and teachers as well because we went outside everyday when it wasn’t raining or to cold. My mother would take us to the park during the summer and brought us different items to play with outside. I use to cry if I couldn’t go outside and play with friends.

I feel that play today is totally different than it was when I was growing up. Today children don’t like going outside they rather stay inside and play video games. Children today have health problems due to not being active outside and when I was growing up you never heard of a child not wanting to be outside.

Although I am grown I still enjoy going outside when I’m free because sitting in the house all is not me. Although I have more responsibility as an adult I find time to enjoy outside with my child even if it’s just sitting outside enjoying the breeze.
