Some factors in my daily environment that support me are my car, which gets me to and from wherever
ever I need to go, my children and husband who help out around the house and are generally loving and supportive on an emotional level. My sister and my best friend are great support when I need to talk an issue through or bounce ideas off of them. These people and tools allow me to be able to work full-time, study for my MS, handle interpersonal situations, and achieve my goals in life. If these supports were not in place, my life would be very lonely and difficult. I can't imagine my life without all of the people who make it liveable. Without these supports, I would not be able to accomplish my goals or live my life even somewhat comfortably.
My imagined challenge is moving from a rural to a metropolitan area. I most likely would not have my car as the cost and traffic would make car ownership prohibitive. Since my best friend is a country girl and lives 3 doors down from me.I would miss our coffee dates on the porch and sharing our lives. I would still have my children and husband although we might relate differently. We are affected by our environment. My family and I would still be there to support one another. I hope that would never change.
