My Support

As I look at my life now I can honestly say that I have the support of many individuals such as family, friends, and teachers.  When I think of the word support there are many things that comes to my mind such as people that are in your comer no matter what happens in life.  Also looking at the word support there are different types of support such as: support one will receive in the store when they need it, there is also technical support when is have trouble with a piece of equipment they will call for help.

In my family there is a host of Aunts, Uncles, and cousins that support everything I do in my life.  There is also my church family that supports me spiritually and naturally.  Growing up as a child my family would support me by being there when I need them, weather it was to showing up at school because I was performing in a program.  All of my family supports me and wants me to do will in life.  When I was going to move away to another state my family was supportive of that move because it was a positive a move it was to make me better. My church family gives me the spiritual support by praying for when I am starting something new in life. They also support the work that I do in the church.

As I thought of a challenge where I would need support of my family and friends to help me get through the times in my life, I came up with the ability of not being able to speak or having the language to express my needs or my wants.  I love to talk and I think it would be hard because I would need people to talk for me and I would have to learn how to use sign language. Learning sign language is something I wanted to do in life, not only learn it but be fluent in the language.  Everyone that surrounds me would be supportive of me learning how to communicate effectively to others without any hindrances.      

My Connection to Play



The swimming was my way of knowing that there was no school and I can stay in the water all day long with out a care in the world.

 


Playing on the slidingboard allowed me to be bigger than everyone around me and I was not afraid of heights.

 

I enjoyed working on puzzles as a child to be able to work on figuring things out in life.

Quotes
Gelett Burgess
There is work that is work and there is play that is play; there is play that is work and work that is play. And in only one of these lies happiness.

George Bernard Shaw
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Mark Twain
Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions.

Plato
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

Play keeps us fit physically and mentally.

Stuart Brown, MD
Contemporary American psychiatrist

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

Plato
Greek philosopher
427–347 BC

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.

Carl Jung
Swiss psychoanalyst
1875–1961

In play a child always behaves beyond his average age, above his daily behavior. In play it is as though he were a head taller than himself.

Lev Vygotsky
Russian psychologist
1896–1934

I was always playing with my dolls and other toys as a child being that I was the only child.  Family members always encouage myself and my cousins to go play when they were talking. The adults that were apart of my life rarley got involoed in my play, even though they were around I choose not to use them.
In this day and time play is much different now than i was a kid many children spend time playing video games, than creating their games with friends.  I can remember playing games with friends outside until it got dark.
