Support

The one theme that seems to come up in this inquiry is SUPPORT. It seems like support in any shape of form is pivotal to success.  Many professionals at these educational institutions all agreed that when a student has the right support and guidance, they are more likely to succeed and complete their course to the best of their ability. Many students I work with have low self-esteem, confident, self belief and achievement measurement because for most of their life they didn’t have the support they need. It is very difficult to try and raise their confident and self-esteem up especially when they had a lot of negativity in their lives.

Support comes from any source. Initial support starts at home then continues at school and with different groups within society.  The home support is the biggest support because that builds the foundation and helps shape our self-worth. If this isn’t there then it is very difficult for our sources to have a major impact within the person.  Many institutions and teachers stress that when a student continues their education (from the compulsory education), the parent still has to support, guide and help them more so than when they were attending school.
