Looking back, when I remember the beginning of this journey, I feel a lump in my throat. Although I decided to continue my studies because I wanted to continue to grow professionally to open up new paths, when I decided to do a master's degree online with Full Sail University, my main motivation was to be an example of perseverance for my daughter who is 5 years old. I want her to look at her mother as a fighter, with great expectations and goals. That despite the situations I have lived, I could go on with my head up and transforming the bad experiences into achievements. During this process I have lost 2 important persons in my life, my brother and my grandmother who raised me. Although it has been a painful process and even though I wanted to give up and leave my studies, I got the strength to go ahead and finish one of my goals. I know somewhere; my loved ones have become angels who watch over my daughter and me and they have helped me persevere. As a single mother it has not been easy the task of working, studying and being a mom and although I had to take some of my daughter’s time, I know that it won’t be in vain and that someday she will tell me, "Mom, I would have done the same thing, I'm proud of you ".

Thanks so much for sharing. It's so essential to have a vision and reason for doing what we do and there isn't any better reason than for our children.
