What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my three incredible kids grow into their own unique individuals. From supporting their passions in sports and extracurriculars to seeing them face challenges with resilience, it fills me with pride. The moments when they seek guidance and genuinely value my advice remind me that I'm making a lasting impact on their lives. Their growth, confidence, and love make every sacrifice worth it, and I am honored to be their mother.

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

One memory I'll never forget is the time our family, despite losing almost everything, found joy in each other. We spent countless hours playing Wii Dance, laughing and dancing together. It wasn’t about the material things we had lost—it was the love and laughter we shared. That moment taught me that family, no matter the circumstances, is all we truly need. We cherish every second of quality time, knowing that our bond is stronger than anything life throws our way.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won the $20,000 prize, I would put it toward my oldest daughter’s college tuition to help her achieve her dream of becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). Education is the key to her future, and this gift would ease the financial burden, allowing her to focus on her studies and make her passion for healthcare a reality. Supporting her in this journey would be the greatest reward and an investment in her bright future.
