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

The most rewarding part of being a mom to my two-year-old son is watching him grow and discover the world. Every day, he learns something new, and his curiosity amazes me. His laughter, hugs, and the way he calls for me melt my heart. Even on tough days, his little hand in mine makes everything worth it. Seeing the world through his eyes reminds me to appreciate the simple joys in life. Being his safe place and biggest cheerleader is the greatest gift.

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

I will never forget the moment my son was born. When I had my C-section and heard his first cry, pure joy filled my heart. It was the most beautiful sound, and in that instant, my life changed forever. Now, being able to see him every day while working from home is my greatest gift. Watching him grow, learn, and discover the world right in front of me is something I will always treasure. Every little moment with him is a memory I hold close to my heart.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I win the $20,000, I would use it to put my son and me in a better living situation, creating a more stable and comfortable home for us. I would also open a savings account for my son’s future education because I want him to have every opportunity to succeed. Money like that doesn’t come easy, and I would cherish every dollar. Life as a single mother is tough—balancing work and school is a constant struggle—but winning would be a blessing, allowing me to give my son the best life possible.
