Over a period of time, I have acquired many relationships but the most important relationships in my life right now would be those I have established with my family and friends. The relationships that I have with these people are important to me because it was through these people that I was able to find myself. I have had a few setbacks that at one point made me a pessimistic person--a person who had a very dim outlook on life. These people help me to overcome the obstacles I was facing...
Before meeting my best friend, Lakeshia Jenkins, I also had a few trust issues. She has taught me how to trust and give people a fair chance. In order to make the two relationships I have mentioned healthy and strong, I try to make myself available to my family and friends. By doing this, the relationships thrive. Without these relationships, life would be boring and dull and I probably wouldn't know how to trust or love others.
My relationship with my family and friends are also important to the work that I do within my classroom. I have established relationships with my students and their family because I do believe that if we form a partnership with the students and the parents, then the students are going to be more likely to succeed because they have support from the teachers and their parents. Overall, I can see the benefits of forming a partnership with my immediate family and friends and with my students and the parents. I want my students to be the best that they can be and in return, I give them the best that I am.
