The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing your child's growth, love, and unique personality bloom every day. Being able to see my son smile and know that if it wasn't for him then a lot of things wouldn't be happening. As a single mother, to see how he carries himself in a manner of respect, dignity, and honor shows me I am teaching him the best way I know.

The one memory I won't forget about my son is the day he asked me if we could ride around the city and go feed the homeless and pass out care packages one Friday. Then that Saturday we went to two nursing homes and spent the day with the residents there and had a family day with new family.

If I had $20,000, I would first focus on securing our financial future. I’d pay off any debts to relieve financial pressure. Next, I’d contribute to his saving funds, setting him up for his future. To improve my career prospects, I’d invest further into our family professional development to help us succeed. Finally, I’d use a small portion to create more memories through some family trips.
