Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

Part One: Establishing Professional Contacts

I have attempted to make contact with two people throughout the week,  I have sent numerous e-mails out , but all have come back with the following message "failure notice - unable to deliver message".  I have hopes that I will still be successful in contacting someone. I am excited about this assignment. 


Part One: Alternative 


I have subscribed to the Web Cast forum in the event I am unable to make professional contacts through e-mail. 


Part Two: Expanding Resources


I have chosen http://www.ccw.org/ from our list of resources. I signed up to be added to their network and look forward to hearing back from them.  I chose this organization because I am very much involved in ensuring our childcare providers and educators are receiving the compensation and education they deserve while providing children a quality care environment. 

My Supports

I have many supporters in my daily environment. My husband is my #1 supporter! He loves, encourages and supports me daily. My children are huge supporters, even though I have to admit they are ready for me to be finished with my degree. I have a huge support system from my mom. I am fortunate she lives close and can assist me with everyday task I need completed especially since I have five very active children. My co-workers daily devotion is a big support.  I cannot imagine not having any of the above individuals in my life. They keep me grounded and remind me daily how proud they are of me for continuing my journey in continuing my education.

I have items that provide me support with my daily task that need to get completed efficiently. My cell phone and laptop are continuously by my side. Even in the middle of the night I have them beside my bed in the event I wake up and need to jot down notes.  Life would be difficult without these items.

Dementia has struck my family over the last two years. My father has this horrible disease and my greatest fear is getting this myself.  Having a daily support system is crucial when dealing with all the emotional ups and downs.
