What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is seeing my children grow, thrive, and achieve their dreams. Knowing that my love, sacrifices, and hard work shape their future brings me endless joy. Every smile, hug, and "thank you" makes the long days and sleepless nights worth it. Watching them overcome challenges, succeed in school, sports, and life, and knowing I played a part in their journey fills my heart with pride. Their happiness is my greatest reward.

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

One memory I will never forget is seeing my child with sickle cell push through pain with so much strength and courage. Despite the struggles, they still smiled, played, and kept going. That moment reminded me how resilient and brave my son is. Another unforgettable memory is watching my son shine in sports, seeing his hard work pay off, and knowing I was there cheering him on. Those moments remind me why I do everything I do—for their happiness, strength, and future.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would invest in my education by putting some toward my bachelor’s degree, grow my business by expanding inventory and marketing, and build a stronger financial foundation for my family. I’d also set aside funds for my child with sickle cell’s medical needs and my son’s sports activities. Lastly, I’d save a portion for emergencies and possibly invest in opportunities that create long-term stability for my family’s future.
