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

I would have to say, seeing them grow up and showcase their talents and excelling in their academics is so rewarding. It gives me the strength and also empowers me that I’m doing something right. They strive to do their best to make me smile and happy. And also, because they know I will reward them for being outstanding. It’s great of being a mom of three boys because I get all the love and affection more than dad. Praying that I have taught them well, and they will be great fathers one day.

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

I would have to say giving birth to them. All three experiences were totally different. I remember giving birth to my first born, and having to get an emergency c-section, because my blood pressure had dropped and his heart rate as well. That was the longest 5 hours of my life. But with the grace of God and prayer from my family, friends and the nursing staff, I was blessed with a healthy baby boy. My boys are my world, and I’m so grateful that I was chosen to be their mom.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would probably pay off a few bills, and take my boys shopping, since they are always in my pockets. I have not been able to put up a college fund for them, with being a full time mom and carrying on majority of the load alone. So, I would definitely put the rest in a college fund for them. School is so expensive now, so that will be a big help with getting some of the things they need for college. This would be a tremendous blessing for my family. I’m forever grateful to have this opportunity.
