In my years from school to my working life, I have garnered multiple relationships that are constantly being strengthened and tested through the years. There are very few important people that matter to me for my personal life and the same goes for my professional life.
In my innermost circle, would be my family members which are my mom, my brother and sister. They have become my immediate support and the closest relationship to me. They are important for my bring up and also to be there for me when others are not there for me, they stood up for me and were close by during my darkest hour and trying times.
Apart from that are my friends, throughout my highschool I have maintain a bunch of friends that are still very close till today. Through thick and thin, I have one friend that is consider my best friend where our relationship stood the test of time. She has become my emotional support, my anchor and also one whom I can confide my secrets that I don’t tell even to my family. Friends in general help me to cope through certain areas of my life where the challenges may not be able go through it alone, they also provide me with the sense of belonging and acceptance of my identity.
For my professional life, there are few who standout that I can think of at the top of my mind. One would be my immediate supervisor at work and a few of my closest colleagues. My supervisor has become someone that I aspire to be and have guided me throughout my internship till my current employment in the company. I have learnt various life skills that are important for my worklife and also for my personal life, he taught me communication skills, positivity and also how to increase my self-confidence and self-esteem.
Lastly would be my colleagues, these are people I see everyday and communicate on a daily basis, we eat lunch together and sometimes hangout after work. Although we try to maintain it professional, oftentimes I will make an extra effort to know them personally and encourage one another so that we know one another not just at a surface level but with a little depth.
