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

I love that no matter how many mistakes I make, the pain I endure, the tears I cry, the journey has and will always be worth it. From giving birth, to starting my senior semester of undergrad 2 days after, to a flat iron face burn at 9 months, the coparenting journey, and now an early start to school approaching, the smile on my son’s face will always be worth it! He will know that all things are possible with God and he has a way of making the end of a rough journey, so beautiful.

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

One memory I will never forget is my first flight with my son. He was six months old but he smiled out the window the entire time. Almost as if he knew the beauty of all God’s creations.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I would open my childcare center in my community that I have always dreamed of. I did a total of 5 years in college, 4 of them I majored in early childhood education, and then I got pregnant, moved back home, and finished my degree in Leadership. Both of these majors combined have set me up for success once I am able to open my center. Now that I have the education, I need the financial support to make my dreams come true.
