There is no one in this world who does not need, want , or have some sort of support. I have many support system that get me through the day. Some I can live without and others I could not. My family is one of the greatest support systems that I have. Without them I would not be where I am today and that includes in this program. They all provide me with a tremendous amount of emotional support. I was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and everyone in my life keep me going. My co-workers provide me with support at work by always having my back and being there when I need them. My car, money, computer, and cell phone all also provide me with support. Without my car I could not get to and from work to make the money that is needed to live on and pay bills. Without my computer I would not have the option of being in this program. And last but not least i depend on my cell phone to keep in touch with everyone, to wake me up in the mornings, and to remind me of what I need to do for the day. As I said some I can live without but others I can't. I can't imagine my life without the support of my family. But without all the others in my life, it would be hard but doable. I haven't always had a car so I know how to ride the bus. I haven't always been in a supportive work environment so I could deal with that. And I have not always had a cell phone and a computer. Life would be harder but I would make it.
As for the challenge I choose to be disabled and in a wheelchair. I chose this because it is something I have to face sometime later in life. I may not need a wheelchair but I will be disabled in some way. If I were in a wheelchair, my biggest support would be my wheelchair. Without it I wouldn't be able to get around. I would have to depend on others a lot to do things for me. I know being in a wheelchair doesn't mean you can't do anything but having a support system around that are willing to help you is definitely needed. Without a good support system life would be very hard. And without a wheelchair I would be bound to my house and possibly the bed.
