Social networks in my life all have different functions that they serve to me. Social networks in my life consists of my family, friends, lecturers and classmates. These social networks all have a specific way of helping me in my daily life.

My family network is where I get my primary support. My family consists of my mother , father and uncle.My family supports me ,be it emotionally when I am going through something hectic, financially support me ,for example they pay for my university fees, give me grocery money, pocket money and an allowance. My family is also where I learnt love because they are the first people who were there for me and taught me what love is from my birth. My family has always been there for me when I needed them ,foe example, when I was writing my matric finals my family was there to ensure that I had everything I needed in order to sufficiently study with no distractions. My family is the one that will permanently be in my life no matter what happens 

My next social network is friends. I have two different friend groups which both serve a similar but different purpose in my life. My first friend group is the one where we just chill together and talk about all the new things in our lives or talk about the latest affairs we have read recently. This is where I get to relax and just reflect on where my life is at that point and what has transpired so far. This friend group helps to keep me grounded and not stray away from who I am and what I want to achieve. My second friends group also grounds me but these are also the friends where we go out together and have fun, this friend group supports me more than any other. They are always there whenever I need something no matter what or when it is.  They help me  relieve the stress I have and 6o have fun, they bring good vibes and happiness to my life. My friends are another support system that j have in life. They never judge me no matter what I tell them and are always ready to ensure that I am not struggling or anything. They are forever there for me and give me comfort .

My lecturers are the ones who provide me with education and knowledge. These are the people where I have limited interactions with because of our professional relationship.  The only time we have interactions is if it’s based on school work. This particular social network is a formal and professional one unlike the others in my life. My lecturers are only there for academic purposes and nothing else.
My classmates are the people that I go to whenever I need to know somethings about a particular module. Although I am not friends with them we have a decent amount of interactions due to the fact that we’re pursuing the same qualification and help each other in the times of need. This social network is where we can all relate to each others struggles such as assignments and tests. This is where we joke around when stressed or we come together and help on another understand course work if someone is have a difficult time. The classmates I have are of great help because they are always there whenever I need clarification on a particular set of work and they never leave to be struggling on my own. This is a great support system because we can all relate to the stress can so we better understand each other than those that do not do the same course as us.
