What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being called “Mom” is seeing my kids show kindness to others. It’s also incredibly fulfilling to watch them discover their passions and pour hard work and dedication into the things they love. I don’t feel like I’ve molded them—I’ve simply given them the freedom to grow into who they truly are. And who they’ve become is absolutely amazing.

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

Wow, that’s a tough question. One memory of my kids that I’ll never forget is the day they both rode a bike without training wheels for the first time. They’re four years apart, but somehow, it happened on the same day. The excitement was contagious—they got so confident, they even built a ramp together! Thankfully, no one got hurt, but the best part was seeing how proud they were of each other. It absolutely melted my heart.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I’d take my kids on a well-deserved vacation. They’ve earned a break to relax and enjoy. The rest would go straight into an investment for their future education. My daughter already has her goals lined up, and helping ease the financial burden would give her a strong start in life. My son is only 9, so his path isn’t clear just yet—but knowing him, I’m sure he’ll shoot for the stars too!
