About

I am a full time mom to two amazing boys. It has not been easy raising a family while in college but I've never let that stop me or be an excuse. My perseverance has been incredible during these past 3 years. I've learned so much about myself.. about women. I am proud of myself because I never gave up and now it shows academically. I just hope to be a great example to someone one day.
