We would like to thank you for supporting Maria Elena Cervantes in this year's Super Mom competition. Your participation allows us to aid Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in their commitment to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is celebrating their wins and accomplishments! I love watching them grow into respectful children and the strong family bond that we share. They have their downs too, and I am here for them during all those moments that make them who they are.

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

The one memory that I will never forget is when I found out I would be their mom! My kids are one year and three months apart. Having them back to back really proved that I was chosen to be their mother and they completed my life. We have ups and downs, but I would never change the moment I found out I was pregnant, both times! Adan and Leencia make me a better person. I love them with my life.

What would you do with $20,000?

There are so many things I would want to do with $20,000! I would ask my son Adan, and my daughter Leeny, what ideas they would have. I know it would involve traveling to visit family in Mexico. We would take the coolest family trip and make so many memories! We would probably hit up the beach and stay poolside. The rest of the money from the trip would be left for their grandpa to use or to visit him on a future trip!
