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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing my children’s joy, growth, and resilience. Every milestone, big or small, fills my heart with pride. Their love inspires me daily, pushing me to be stronger, wiser, and more patient. Seeing the world through their eyes reminds me of life’s beauty and possibilities. Motherhood has shaped me into the best version of myself, and knowing I’m guiding them toward a bright future is the greatest gift of all.

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

I will never forget the moment that my daughter had her first piece of artwork featured at the Museum of History and Science. It was always a vision to have her artwork in an actual museum or gallery one day. I was very proud to see her hard work pay off and receive recognition from her school and peers, especially after losing one of her biggest supporters, her grandmother, to cancer two years ago. I wish she could have experienced that moment with her as well.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would prioritize my children’s well-being and future. I would ensure stability by covering essential needs while also investing in opportunities that nurture their growth. A portion would go toward supporting my daughter’s passion for art, providing her with the resources and tools to develop her talent. I would also set aside funds for their education and future endeavors, ensuring they have every opportunity to thrive and pursue their dreams with confidence.
