CONTE, JESSYREE CLAIRE V.
Every day of our lives, and every day of our lives to come, we are confronted with
stressful, frustrating, heartbreaking, and tough circumstances. But we don't have to go through
these difficult moments by ourselves. I'd always known that having a support system was
crucial, but it wasn't until I entered college that I realized just how important it was. During my
first year of college, the number of responsibilities I had started to build up. In between
homework, the responsibilities of my degree program, and maintaining a social life, I can feel a
little overburdened. I can't tell you how many times I've dialed my mother's phone and vented
to her about my life and the stress that's been piling up. It may also be the number of times I
will contact my best friend and whine about life till I am feeling better. Alternatively, I might be
sitting in my room with my sisters and housemates, discussing the current craziness that is
taking place. The support system I have is incredible, and I am grateful to each and every one of
them for their contributions.
It is quite beneficial to have a strong support system in one's life. They assist you in
dealing with the difficult situations that arise in your life and are around to share in your joy at
the good moments. They can assist in alleviating some of the anxiety and tension that life can
bring about. Having a support system truly demonstrates to you that you are never alone in life,
and that you will never have to confront fly2anything alone in your journey. Support systems
are made up of people that are there for you no matter what because they care about you and
want to see you succeed and be happy in whatever you are doing. They are the ones who
support you when you are on the verge of giving up, and they are the people who rejoice with
you when you achieve your goals. My life now would be significantly different if it weren't for
them.
Oftentimes we are not all fortunate enough to have families who can act as support
systems, or even lovers who can be supportive. Occasionally, family can be found in the people
who are closest to you. Those who believe they have no support system from family members
or others close to them should know that they are not alone in their feelings of helplessness.
Never forget the people who have stood by your side through good and terrible times; this is
the type of support system that anyone would be fortunate to have. It is quite significant.
