My life's network

6 Apr 2024, 21:58 Publicly Viewable

Networks in my life are about building some kind of relationship or connection with different people and finding mutual benefits for everyone I interact with. In a day I interact with a number of people, but our interactions benefit each of us differently. In my daily life I interact with my roommate, we help one another where we can, when I need help or clarity when it comes to my schoolwork she helps. We are each other's emotional supporters, since we haven't bought everything that we will need for cleaning, she lends me a backet to clean our living room and that benefits the both of us, because no one feels comfortable with living in a dirty environment.

On daily bases I interact with lectures (academic network), when it comes to them our network works in a way that we sit in lecture rooms, and they teach or give us school-based information and clarity where we didn't get what was the study unit about, in return they get paid by the school/government for teaching us. During any time of the day, we interact with cashiers in shops, us buying from the store makes it possible for the shop owner to pay the workers so that they will be able to provide for their families. In this network me buying from the store benefits all three parties, me, the worker and the store owner, because they helped me to get what I need and the money that I paid benefits the families of both parties.

When it comes to the connection (social network) between me and my friends, we all benefit from it because we are always there to support each other emotionally and academically. When one doesn't understand something in their studies we sit down and share the information that we know or what we understand. That benefits all of us, because the more you explain something you get to understand it better than you did before and the one who didn't understand anything before will now know something. 

The most important relationship is the one I have with my family, I am truly blessed to have them in my life, because I am who I am today because of them. They have been my support system for the past twenty years of my life. They are only ones I allow to see me at my lowest or see me cry because I know that they will try everything in their power to see me back on my feet and happy. In our family my parents work hard to make sure that me and my siblings get everything that we need at home and at school. They both get money in exchange for their labor and my mother does the part of taking are of everyone in the family. All of this connection networks play a huge role in my life, because they help me build the person I am today and who I want to be in the future.
