My Supports

• Here is the basic rule for winning success. Let's mark it in the mind and remember it. The rule is: Success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support of other people.

  My family has always been my biggest supporter.  Support can be in many forms, it can be emotionally, physically, intellectually, domestically and sporadic!  As I think about my daily supports, it would begin with the custodial staff in my building.  My boyfriend supports me in my career decision and during stressful times.  In the office, it is often times very stressful.  I believe that we support each other, in the office, through humor, lending a hand and friendship. My administrative assistant makes my daily work life much easier.  She supports me in the highest way possible.  As I sit here and think about my life without these supports, there is no way possible I could achieve the things I do.  As I reflect on this assignment, I am really humbled by the level of support I have received consistently throughout my life. 
  It's kind of hard for me to think of a challenge, but it was deaf, I would need hearing supports.  Due to my career, I would definitely need someone to communicate via sign language  to attend all of my meetings, with me, everyday.  I would also have to make sure that my staff were introduced to sign language, as well.  These supports would be needed, as they would enable me to communicate effectively with staff and and in meetings.
