My Supports

In my daily life I am supported throughout the day. My husband supports my every dream. He calls me his little bird that flutters from one idea to the next trying to make sense of this world. I am supported my friends who know me like know one else does. They accept who I am and know when to listen and when to give advice. I am supported by the company that I work for. I am not always the best at following directions or their rules. But they know that every family that leaves their child in my care is going to be elated at the end of the day. I am supported by the kids that I work with. Without the support of these 16 children on a daily basis I would be in big trouble. They are kind, respectful and trust that I have their best interest at heart..
I imagine that I am deaf. I do read lips but it is really hard for me to understand sometimes
 what is being said. My husband supports my every dream telling me that this is not a disability but a beautiful language that is spoken with my hands. He calls me his little bird as I try to teach everyone to speak to me in my language. I am supported by friends who always carry around little note books and pens and listen carefully as I speak to them. I can tell what I say is important to them and they take the time out to try to sign back to me. I am supported by the company that I work for. I teach sign language to the children at the end of the day after I finish teaching my prek class at the School For The Deaf. I am supported by my 16 children without them I would be in trouble. Without these supports life would be hard. I would only be able to communicate with those who had lost their hearing. I would feel sad that I take the time out throughout the day trying to listen and communicate with the hearing but feel disrespected when I am ignored because it is a little harder to communicate with me.
