RELATIONSHIP REFLECTION

Relationships are important if you want to succeed in your everyday life journey you need to have good relationships. If you have a positive relationship it can tell someone what you are like or even who you are about. For me relationship are what you develop out of them. It can impact your life for a long time give you good memories of people in your past, but give you memories to keep for ever. The main relationship I have is all of the good times I spend with my parents. We go on trips, laugh, cry, and sometimes have hard times together. We all just went through having no power for almost six days and that was fun, but hard because my parents are no young chickens any more. I really thought it was goping to do my DAD in. Heat is something he does not do well in at all.

My parents are the ones who I have a positive relationship with. They are always there when I am down and out know how to pick me back up again. My parents have been the ones to inspire me to continue my education. My DAD is a godly person who encourages us all to turn to god for the best answer. The rest of my family are so far away so it makes it hard to build a relationship with them. I do have a best friend at work who we have been through some similar things and talk to each other about our concerns. It is nice to have someone at work to talk to besides my parents.

Another person who has had a good relationship with me is my brother who will do anything to help me out in a pinch. To me that means a lot to have someone who cares about how you are struggling and helps to get you back on your feet. Just having him around makes me feel that I can succeed in anything I do.

Challenges of keeping a relationship going. I feel that no matter how hard you try it is a challenge to keep your relationship good or in good standing order. Not everyone is going to get along we need to work together as a team to keep our relationships going. I am a single mom, but have had so many support people to help me, and that has helped me to raise my two children who are 27 & 24. I am now giving them the advice I was shown to raise their children, so their family can succeed with love, joy and remember alot of what they have shown their own children.

There is one special person that God had put back into my life. She was a teacher I had as a child and then when my son was in second grade she was his teacher. She was going through a messy divorce and I was able to comfort her and get her through all of the rough times. I do believe that God places people in your life for a reason. She is still one of my best friends I call on for advice and to do things together. She has been a blessing in my life as well as my children's life's.

All of the people who has impacted my life has helped me to be the teacher who I am today. My family and friends have inspired me to succeed and to move forward. My father has been the one to treat me the right and wrong way of treating people. His motto has been "Treat people the way you want to be treated". I really think all of the Early Childhood Classes have also helped me to know what to do as a teacher and to give respect to the children I care for. The main thing is to remember if you want respect from your children then you must give them respect in return.
