I LOVE ALL MY GADGETS
Two of my biggest supporters are my parents. My husband and I work full time while going to school online. My parents help us to take care of our 14 month old son Kaden. This a big help to is because my son is well taken care of and I did not have to find a babysitter. Not to mention my refuses to take any payment, she loves to have her grandson around. I can't forget my husband, he us always there to cheer me on and keep me headed on the right path. Without him, I would have definitely lost focus several times. I think we balances each other's support system. We take turns helping each other so we can achieve our future goals.
Another important support for me is technology. My cell phone, Samsung tablet, iPod and my computer are so important to my daily life. When I am without one I am lost. My school work is primarily completed while traveling to and from work do I need these things badly. I cannot even imagine not having at least one thing with me at all times. My computer allows me to complete my workload everyday because everything is computerized now. My iPod is use when the train is crowded and I cannot pull out my big tablet or my laptop. I write all my thoughts about assignments down and then email my self the information. My cell phone has all my contacts and all my info concerning schedules. I plug everything into my phone because it easily accessible and always at arms length. Without my phone I cannot call anyone if I need assistance because the world is filled with so much technology I don't bother to learn any one's number. That I think is pretty sad because the most desperate times can go unknown because you can't remember a number. Life without these supports if they had not existed would have been okay because I would have a bog black book with everything written down. but because I have become so accustom toy gadgets I literally cannot function without them.
I also have to include my post it notes. My desk at work is covered with them. When someone ask me to get something or prepare a document, I write a note and I paste it down on my desk. It is sort of my check list because by the end of the day all the notes need to be completed. I cannot imagine not have this supply because it is so helpful for me to remember what I need to do.
My son is the only one that makes me put all my gadgets down because when we play and go to park it is all about him with no distraction. You can say he makes me sane for most of day but especially on the weekends. Saturday and Sunday belong to only him and with him I feel like the most powerful person in the world. I support him and watchng hims grow lets me know I am doing a good job so far!
I am pretty lucky to lead a life where I do not have to need for anything. I have my parents, my husband, my son and the rest of my immediate family and most importantly my health. I think for a moment what if I was not so healthy. Would I be able to take care of myself, preform my duties at work, would I be able to or even be capable of relying on all these gadgets. I so many people around that have lost a body part and are unable to function everyday without a struggle. I take for granted how important my arms are and the fact that I need both of them to complete most functions. Would all these things in my life go so smoothly or would I be lost. I think at this point in time, knowing how frustrated I tend to get, I would be miserable for a while and even when I could do somethings for myself , I would still complain. To be without the support of my body, I think I would rely on my parents to help me do a lot and with the help of therapists to learn how to maneuver myself. Without out those people I think I would not have any self-confidence in myself.
