Support is means to me
that people, no matter who they are, have someone or something to help them
accomplish the task he or she needs to accomplish everyday task at home, work,
school, etc. For instance, if I have a
job that needs to be done in my classroom I try to make sure my students are knowledgeable
enough to help me accomplish that task.
The people in my everyday
life that are my support are my husband, family, friends, and co-workers. Each of these support systems gives strength to
get done the day to day task. I cannot
imagine the type of extra support a person who truly has a special need from
immediate family and other assistants.
However, I am about to imagine that I am a person who is death and I am
going to try to get through my day with the support I need.
I would have to say the biggest factor that
would be the obstacle to my day would be communication. I would need possibly an
American Sign Language Interpreter at work to help me with communicating with
my students and co-workers, At home, my
husband and family would definitely have to be my interpreter going to run
daily errands like shopping. I would
also rely on technology a great deal to conduct communication. In order to talk to co-workers and parents,
e-mail and phone translator that helps me understand what other people are saying
on the other end of the phone. Little
things like this will help make my day go easier. However, some of the biggest challenge would
be to make sure that I want to get across the information to my class, parents,
and co-workers clearly. I believe through
the support of my family, friends, and other co-workers I could get through the
day.
