My Supports

My God is definitely a supporter. I feel that without him I would not be where I am today because sometimes when I do not have anyone to talk to I would talk to God and I know deep down inside he is the one who answered all my prayers through the voice of my mom sometimes because He is always right on time with given my mom the words to say to me. Through faith I believe this 100%. God has definitely made a way out of no way for me and sisters because I told myself no to things that I thought were impossible and He did not. For example when I was getting ready to graduate college I thought that my dream of being a doctor ended as soon as I graduated because I felt that I did not have what it would take to become a doctor and he opened up a door for me and allow me to get accepted into medical school and now I am currently doing that. My second and most true daily supporter is my mother. She is the one who has held my hand through my rough times and through my good times. Whenever I needed something she would always be there to tell me what it is that I need to do in order to get through my situation. She is my motivation and strength when I don’t feel like fighting anymore. For example my mother has been through so much throughout her life she has been through dialysis because of kidney failure and she survived that, she has survived breast cancer, and she had to take on the lead role of being a parent to my siblings and I after the passing of my dad. I mentioned this because she has been strong throughout the years and she still is and had support behind her so she supports me in whatever decision I make by giving me advice and telling me to keep pushing no matter how hard things get. She is a true definition of a supporter because when she was going through the things she was going through she needed support so she definitely knows how to be a supporter.  My grandmother and father are also supporters in my life because they have supported me in everything. They are my supporters because I would not be in medical school now if it wasn’t for the financial support of them and my mother. My twin sister is another one because she keeps me motivated a lot and tells me I can do things even if I feel like I can’t. She is always there to help me get through what I think are the toughest times there are in my life by just being there to talk. If I did not have any of these supporters I don’t think I would be this far in life right now.

Some other supports that I have is my computer to keep in contact with everyone back at home because I have no access to my phone from home because roaming charges would be high and that is something I do not want. My computer and I pad allows me to text and call my mother and other family members back at home while I’m away at school. Skype is also a great supporter for me because without it I would not be able to get in touch and stay in touch with my family. Seeing my family makes me feel that I am actually apart of the festivities that they are enjoying at home and this helps me to be away from them. Electronics period are a major supporter for me because without it I would not be able to be miles and miles away from my family without being able to see or communicate with them.

One challenge I chose to imagine and the thoughts that I have with regard to supports I want and need would be my future husband who is currently my fiancé. I just need him to understand and support me on the fact that I have chosen to leave and go miles away for school so that one day we would be able to have a comfortable life together. I would also need the support of my grandparents in ensuring that when I do get married one day they would still be there to help me with whatever it is that I may need in order to make my wedding the most memorable day of my life. If I don’t have the support of any of them then I would not be able to have I want and need in my life.
