What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of motherhood for me is seeing the strength I've built in both myself and my toddler. I'm showing her that no matter how tough things get, hard work and love pay off. Even on the tough days, her smiles, laughter, and hugs make it all worth it. Watching her grow and thrive because of the foundation I'm building for her is so fulfilling. The bond we share, especially with me doing this on my own, is something I’ll always cherish and be proud of.

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

One memory I’ll never forget is the first time my toddler said "I love you" without me prompting her. We were sitting on the couch, and out of nowhere, she looked up at me and said it so sincerely. My heart melted. It was like time stopped for a moment, and I realized just how special our bond is. It’s a simple moment, but it felt like the world. I’ll carry that memory with me forever, a reminder of how deeply we’re connected.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I'd use it to pay off my remaining tuition and ease some financial stress. I’d also put money aside for my toddler's future and invest in a reliable car to make commuting easier. I’d set aside some for emergency savings and maybe take a few classes to further my career. Most importantly, I’d make sure my child and I have a stable foundation to build on, allowing me to focus on my career and personal growth without worrying so much about the financial burden.
