The daily factors that are supportive to me are my family and colleagues. My family are a source of love and affection. They help keep my mind off of work when I am home, and they help keep me focused at work as well; they help to remind me what I am working for.
My colleagues are a source of support as well. We work as a team to encourage and support each other. We often have experiences together that we can not share with our family members because of confidentiality. We can discuss difficult issues, and try to come to some resolution.
These supports are essential to me. I could not imagine doing my job without having my supports in place. If I did not have these supports in place, I would be directionless, I would be like a sailboat without a sail, floundering in the deep seas of the educational system.
My supports are in place so they can help me through my day. I hope I am as supportive to my friends and family as there are to me.
Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI also have great colleagues as a support. We work together and encourage each other. I believe this is a very important support especially working in a demanding environment. I appreciate my sanity partners and know working without them may be difficult.
