Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The smile on my children’s face. When I help them out with their school projects, being able to get something they really wanted, being able to attend their choir concerts at school and so on. I get tired from working and being a single mom but seeing them smile makes it all worth it.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

My kids are almost the same age my son is 5 and my daughter is 7. One memory is getting both of them ready for their first day of school together. My daughter was excited to have her little brother at school with her and my son was so scared he cried. My kids are still young so I know I have a lot more to experience with them, in hopes of me being able to do things for them that they won’t forget. They’ve been asking for Disneyland and I hope I can save up enough money to make that happen.

What would you do with $20,000?

My mom crashed my new car I barely had for a year back in 2022. I’m still currently paying it off. It set me back so much financially. She wasn’t on my insurance so everything had to get paid out of pocket. Right now I live paycheck to paycheck paying back loans I took out to fix my car. With 20,000 I would pay off those loans and finally be able to afford a place in which my kids can have their own room. We are currently living in a one bedroom house. That money would be a blessing to us.
