What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing my kids grow into their own unique personalities and knowing I’ve played a part in shaping who they are. Watching them learn, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals makes all the hard work, late nights, and sacrifices worth it. There’s nothing better than the love, laughter, and little moments that make it all so special.

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

One memory of my kids that I will never forget is the moment we were all reunited. After everything we had been through, having them back in my arms, knowing we were together again, was the most emotional and fulfilling experience of my life. That moment reminded me why I keep pushing forward, no matter how hard things get.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I would use it to secure stable housing for my family, pay off any outstanding debts, and build up my savings. I’d also invest in my education to support my goal of becoming a counselor, ensuring a better future for me and my kids. And if there’s anything left, I’d love to take my children somewhere special that I never had the chance to experience as a child, creating memories that we’ll cherish forever.
