Having a support system has been an essential part of Jillian Breckenridge’s life. A support system can be defined as family, friends and the other people you surround yourself with-the type of people who you can rely on. Breckenridge’s support system was not only there for her, but helped to shape her. The influences of her friends and family is something that she plans to take into her future.
One way Breckenridge is going to do this is by continuing to be a helpful and empathetic person. This is also how she aims to be remembered by people. Another part of her support system is her faith.
“Faith is something that I’ve relied on, it’s a big part of my life,” she said. Just like her, many other students rely on faith as well.
Breckenridge also uses journaling and talking to her friends as forms of self care when overcoming a challenge. Both of which are effective ways to conquer hard times. After high school she plans to pursue a career in dermatology.
