What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The best reward for being a mother is seeing the fruits of my labor manifest through my children. Witnessing every positive and concise decision that they make is a reflection of their upbringing and environment as a result their childhood experiences. This is the most rewarding aspect of being their mom!

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Know who you are, so that your children can learn their true identity. The love and energy you display, is a result of reward you get back!

What would you do with $20,000?

I would definitely plan a family vacation! But, I would first manage my bills/finances due to unexpected unemployment since February 2025. Thankfully, I made a decent salary while working to support my family as a single parent while employed after my husband’s death. It has been rewarding to help my children to free up some debt. My biggest desire is to continue assisting my firstborn grandchild’s college education as she pursues her dream of becoming an Anesthesiologist!
