I am a single mom of amazing twin boys. Just got back to full time teaching after 9 years due to them being born premature.
We would like to thank you for supporting Elizabeth Odiorne in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.
The most rewarding part of being a mom is when the days might be tough and even a bit crazy but at the end of the day my boys give me a hug or snuggle with me. It is not always easy, but just knowing that I am their safe space and the one they give all their emotions to makes it worth it. Working full time as a special education teacher is challenging and rewarding but it is also navigating a lot of emotions with students. Coming home and being with my twin boys is everything!
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?I will keep it very simple. Motherhood has taught me I can do very hard things! I teach my kids this every day and I hope to live and practice what I preach to them. I never knew I could do so many things and balance my life.
What would you do with $20,000?I would honestly just like the security of it. I live in a small 2 bedroom apartment with my kids and I could possibly put this towards a savings account for a down payment on a house. Or I would love to be able to go on a vacation with them. They are 10 and we have never been on a big vacation before. Maybe a Disney trip or cruise. $20000 is a ton of money so it’s fun to even imagine the possibilities.
