My Supports

I have many “supporting” people in my life.  I could go down a list of people but I am going to just hit on the most important people in my life.  First there is my husband of eleven years; who puts a smile on my face even in the darkest of days.  He shares the same passion as I do for early childhood education and understands my joy and frustrations that come with my position as an administrator in a very large facility.  My children are who keep me sane and know exactly how to lighten the mood.  There unconditional love is what I live for. 

As for professionally I give my team the supporting award.  I can yell, cuss, shout to the moon and they sit back, laugh and say ok, not let’s get down to business.  I would not ask for a better team than what I have now.  To have a team that supports our program unconditionally and live for the wellbeing of our children that we educate every day for is just a wonderful feeling.  Advocating for our program is very challenging and at times we have to shut the door and let it all out so that when we get in front of the people that decide our fate we can be professional and the tension is out of our behavior.

There are so many more benefits of the support that I receive personally and professionally.  I am a better person because of the support each person gives me.  It would be very difficult for me to be where I am in my life.  I would not love like I love and strive for more without the support I get from the people I have listed. 

I cannot imagine a challenge that I would not be able to overcome.  I have such a great group of supportive people and programs in my life that I would find a way to get through this challenge.  There are always benefits after overcoming a challenge.  Team is stronger and up for a new challenge.  I love the challenges that come with early childhood education.  I love making a positive outcome with the many challenges that come with this field.
