The biggest supports I have in my life are my family. My husband, mom, sister,and inlaws all encourage me to be the best I can be. Each of these people provide me with time by watching my daughter when I need it, they provide me with positive support and critisism, and the means to pursue my dreams. This benefits me by allowing me the time, support and means to feel fulfilled wherever I am in life. Without these supports I would have to adjust my lifestyle, and settle for whatever I could accomplish by myself. I also rely heavily on technology to support my life. I use my phone to keep appointment and organize my day, and I rely on my tablet to organize lesson plans, assessment, and course materials. Without technology it would make things in my life much more diffiult.
The challenge I chose to imagine was if I was living in poverty. If I was living without the money to meet my basic needs I would need community support, affordable childcare, as well as a way to get to and from work affordable. My family would continue to support me. They would still be helpful with caring for my daughter, and providing positive support, and they would also continue provide me means to accomplish my dreams. However, I would need them more than I do currently. Without these supports I would be emotionally and physically taxed trying to meet the needs of daily life. This would make it difficult to pursue my dreams. As for technology I would probably not be able to afford these things, so I would also have to work harder to organize my life and complete daily tasks.
