Relationship Reflection

We define relationships as the way in which two or more concepts, objects or people are connected; or the state of being connected. Relationships are very important to me because they have helped me become the person that I am today. In life we come across so many people who bring something to our lives some positive and some may be negative. We take life experiences and learn from them all good or bad. The relationship I have with my daughters are like no other one, I have not only taught them but I've shown them how a woman is suppose to carry herself. I talk to them about life issues that could possibly have an affect on them. I want them to always know that I'm there for them through everything life throws at them. We pray together and that's how I raised them and I'm sure they will do the same when they have children. Communication is very important in relationships, how can someone know what you are dealing with and feeling if you don't tell them. Challenges come in relationships when there is a disagreement or difference of opinion on a particular subject. In order to maintain a healthy relationship we should be respectful of other peoples opinions and feelings on a certain subject matter.

 The relationship I have with my cousin is awesome. Whenever I call her without any hesitation she come. If anything happen in the family she is always there and she doesn't complain about being there. She always ask if I need her to do anything for me. I talk to her everyday about something that may be going one and she calls me to ask my personal opinion or what I think about something. Our relationship has stood the test of time.

 I've known my friend for over 20 years and she's so compassionate and caring. This lady will give you  her absolute last. Over the years I never asked her for anything but somehow she knew if I needed something. This is true definition of sisterhood, she has held my hand through so much in my life including my marriage and divorce.

 Last but definitely not least my bff Guadalupe Hilliard has been the true definition of the word friend. Our relationship started when we both started working for Head Start. We ended up going to the same center location and have been friends every since. She has been my reason for staying at Head Start because she has helped me when no one else would. She's shown me things I never knew how to do because she has many years of experience in working with children. I can recall a day when I was told my room wasn't kid friendly, this was my first year teaching and they wasn't trying to show me how to get it kid friendly. Well Ms. Hilliard stayed after she was already off the clock and helped me move furniture around. I was so frustrated I wanted to go back to working at the bank she talked me into staying. I thank God for allowing us to cross paths because we have a great relationship.
