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

The most rewarding part of being a mom has been learning from my children. They have taught me patience, kindness, empathy, and emotional intelligence. Through them, I have gained a deeper understanding of people and how to care for them. I feel truly blessed to be entrusted by God with their souls and the responsibility of guiding them in life. The journey of motherhood had been one of constant growth, and it's been an honor to watch them thrive.

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

The memory I'll never forget is hearing my kids express how much they miss me when I'm not around. Their words, especially as they're so young, remind me how much I mean to them. Two of my kids often say, they can't wait to rush home from school, excited to see my car and know I'm there waiting for them. It's moments like these that make me feel truly blessed to be their mom, knowing they feel loved and cared for even in my absence.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20000, I would use it to settle my student loans and then take my family on a well-deserved two-week vacation to relax and recharge before I start my career. Finishing my degree with summa cum laude while raising my kids had been a huge accomplishment, and this would be a special way to celebrate and refuel for the next chapter of our lives.
