My Supports

One of my main support systems I use on a daily basis is exercise. Physical activity has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I started off swimming and ice skating; later I started to compete with swimming and ice skating and added tennis into the mix.  I have always been an active person, and I realize that when I exercise, it takes away a lot of tension and stress I may feel.  While I am exercising, everything else goes out the window.   I love to work-out with friends, so every chance I get I drag a friend or two along. Recently my friends and I got involved in pole workouts, which are very interesting. We like to have fun while exercising, and these pole classes do just that. They have zumba and pilates as well as cardio.  

Another main support system I use on a daily basis is my brother. My older brother and ‘I have establish this incredible relationship over the last few years. When I need and ear to listen, or simply want to go out and have fun, my brother is who I can count on. I admire him for his ambitions and what he has accomplished in life. I love the way he take life on step at a time, and lives it to the fullest. One thing my brother and I share is the love for photography. We grew up taking a lot of pictures, and I believe as adults we still love to do so as well as be in them. We love to capture those moments some might think are small. My brothers’ girlfriend and I are very close as well. I look up to here as an older sister, being that I have no real sister! We have created a strong bond, and I cannot wait to see where it takes us.

The next support system is the relationship my best girl-friends. I surround myself with people who have the same goals as I do in life. We all strive to be ambitious young leaders in our chosen career.  I love these girls with my heart. I am able to talk to them about any and every thing from the weird to relationships to politics.  These girls have always supported me, and gave me strength along the way. We all met in college, and formed long lasting bonds. When I am with them, I can truly be myself and not worry about them judging me. We have been there for each other with highs and lows including graduation, relationships, birthday days and more! 

 The last support system is my co-workers! Even though I recently met my co-workers in the last year, we have created loving caring relationships as well. I have never met a better group of people I love to work with. WE share our ideas and teaching secrets all the time. When I need that extra push to get through the day, I know I can rely on my assistant and co-workers!

Along with the unconditional love and support of my family, which I do not see every day, these are my support systems that get me through my days and weeks. They bring me joy, and through them I have learned so much about myself!!!
