Q1) What motivates you to continue and excel at SCC in spite of circumstances you may face? 

A1) What motivates me is I want to provide the best example and life I can for my 3 children, which isn't easy being a widow.

Q2) What advice would you give to future students who might face similar situations?

A2) The best advice I can give is to give it your all and try not to let distractions get in your way. My kids are a huge distraction, but it can be done. I wouldn't change my life with the exception of having my husband back to make things easier. I struggle with working on school assignments especially with a baby wanting me to hold him, my daughter had surgery, and I have had some medical issues myself. Don't let anything stop you from achieving your goals. You may come across a few setbacks but don't let that stop you just keep your head up and keep moving forward.
