Journal #8 Important people

Sometimes when I think about all the things I have been through, I think about how it was possible for me to make it through it. I have been through many hard times. There have been times when I thought that life really sucked and that it couldn't possibly get any worse. When I think about how I made it through everything, I realize that without the amazing people in my life it wouldn't have been possible.
Of course, i have great teachers who help me within the classroom setting, they help me achieve good grades. They work with me everyday and make sure that I understand what I need to know in order to be successful. There have been many teachers who have helped me and have showed that they care about not only my grades but the hard times I was faced with at home. When I was at my old school, my grade eleven English teacher Mrs. Haaf was really the only teacher that I liked. But at Stamford there are many teachers that have been amazing with both me and my family like: Mrs. Brady, Mrs. Gaines, Ms. Mc Allister, Mr. Baty, Mr. Pierce, Mr. Martin and Mr. Mac Donald. All of these teachers have either helped me or helped out my family. But without the amazing teachers I have, school would not be that great for me sometimes.
Then there is my brother and sister. We don't always get along but I mean we are siblings and we have our little arguments from time to time. We are all different and have different opinions and think differently. My brother is big on sports and watches nothing but football. I cannot tell you how annoying it is when my brother is hogging the TV watching boring football. But other than his sports thing him and I are actually really close even though he is four years younger than I am. He is also really protective of my mother, sister and I because he feels he needs to be. My sister is a little more kept to herself unless she is upset because then she will let us know. We get along fairly well but she is involved in a youth group so she is busy a lot. But, I know if I need anything my brother and sister will be there for me in a heartbeat. We have been through a lot together and it is nice to talk to them.
There is also my boyfriend Drew. He has been really amazing when it comes to the things that I have been through at home. He has seen and heard things that I really wish he hadn't but he has been really supportive. He is very good to talk to even though he sometimes doesn't know the right thing to say. He is always there when I need someone to sit with me while I cry. He is also really good with my family. He hangs out with my brother and is a positive male influence on my brother. he takes my brother out and protects my brother like he would if he had siblings. He is an amazing person and I am so lucky to have someone like him.
But the most amazing person in my life is my mom. She has been through a lot and sometimes she just wants to be alone. But she has been staying strong for my brother sister and I. She is trying to do the best she can for my family. She is getting better everyday and I am really proud of her. She is the best mom anyone could have and I am lucky that I have her.
All the people in my life have been really supportive and without them, I am not sure that I could make it through the day.
