Relationship Reflection


Relationships are vital to our lives and can determine the path in which we decide to take within life.  It is very important that there are healthy relationships formed that serve as  motivation and drive within life.  Relationships are important to me because the pictures posted below are of the most important people within my life.  I strive to be a better mother and wife on a daily basis.  My husband and two kids are the reason I work so hard to reach all of my goals.  It is very important that I set a good example to both my children that reaching your full potential will have its rewards in the end.  My relationship with my husband is positive because I have my soul mate there to support me when I strive to reach goals, comfort me when I feel like giving up, and encourages me when times get rough.  My daughter is my dependent upon me to be a role model that is furthering my education and is always there for her mommy no matter what the situation or circumstances .  The relationship with my son is growing stronger each and every day even though is no longer living within the state. He may be miles away but we always seem to talk and make things better when they seem to be going wrong.  I love my family and those who show great change in my life.

My Supports


On a daily  basis my main goal is to survive my life of stress, disappointment, and struggles.  Throughout this task, I survive through supports.  Factors within my life that make each day worth living to the fullest is my family, my faith, and the love of living life.  These supports are vital to my survival and success within life.  The benefits of these supports allow me the strength to get my day started, enjoy working with children, and continuing to succeed.  The supports listed above are very beneficial to my existence within life.  Without the love of my family, I would not have the drive and determination to make myself a better person so that I can serve as an example for my daughter and son.  My faith keeps me grounded and keeps me within a spiritual mood to accept the challenges and struggles that I must face within my life.  Loving life gives me the opportunity to love myself for who I am and allow others to accept me for just that.  All these factors allow Donice to be just that-Donice.

There are many challenges within life itself and having little to no supports that make transitions and situations easier, would be destructive to our lives.  A challenge that I would like to imagine is depression/suicidal thoughts.  If I were surrounded by such thoughts, I would most definitely need the following supports to survive: love of friends and family, someone to look after me, a spiritual background, and great insurance.  I chose those particular supports because if I am struggling with such a destructive and life threatening condition, I would need the love of my friends and family members to talk me into receiving the necessary help and assistance to become healthier.  Having someone to be there to care for me is vital to my existence.  I would have to have someone there to hold my hand and encourage me to become the person I once used to be.  A spiritual background would give me the opportunity to pray that all things work out for the good.  Finally having great insurance would allow me to receive the best possible treatment to grow into a better person.  If I didn't have these supports death would be my next move.
