Networking is building and making connections and relationships with people. networking is important for many reasons such as presenting job opportunities, making professional connections, helps create new ideas and can provide you with valuable information. Networking is an important part of your everyday interactions and surprisingly enough we tend to network without even knowing it. 

My primary source of support stems from my family network, which comprises my mother, father, and my older brother. Being the youngest in the house I tend to lean all my family a lot as i do not have as much experience in life as they do. They are my main source of comfort as they are always there for me during challenging and overwhelming times, they are constantly remind me to keep pushing in life. My family always has been and always will be my life line, I did not constantly have them in my corner i would not have made it as far as I have in life. They always hold my hand when it comes to any kind of battles in life, like for example starting university. Even though I was scared to start uni and move away from home my family constantly reminded me regardless of what happens I can always come home. 

My friends are one of my most important networks. My friends and i are constantly together as if we are a family, and quite honestly I see them as my blood. As much as i would do anything for them they have also introduced me to new people and different experiences I would not normally do on my own. By meeting new people this has allowed me to meet people from different places and different backgrounds which expands my knowledge on people in different societies. This has opened my world drastically and has made me see things and experiences in a different perspective.  They remind me to have fun and to live life to the fullest which is something I am grateful to have learnt from an amazing group of people.

My lecturers are some of the most important people i have networked with. They encourage me to work hard and are always expanding my mind to see and understand things from a different perspective. My lecturers are also important people in my life as they are the people who are going to help me transition into the real world where i will use everything they have taught me inside and outside the modules.
