What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing my children grow up and develop their own personalities and identities in society. As a mom, I often held my children as babies and tried to imagine what life would look like for them. They have surpassed and are surpassing anything I could have ever imagined for them. I’m so honored and proud to have earned this title of mom.

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

My fondest memory is when I surprised my kids with a trip to Disney. I didn’t tell them where we were going until we landed in Florida and arrived at our condo. I made each of them a drawstring bag and filled it with all the things they would need to explore all the Disney Parks. When they opened their bags, the tears of joy made everything worth while.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I would take my family on a much needed vacation to Africa. I want my family to see where our ancestors originated from. I want them to submerge themselves in the culture. Try the foods. Explore the land. See the beautiful and majestic wildlife. I want them to be a part of history. Not just acknowledge it. After the trip, I would take what’s left and do some home improvements.
