Motherhood

One of my mom's biggest achievements is being a mom. She never seen herself being a mommy at an early age(21 and 24)but she definitely did that!She was a single mom to me and my brother. Even though everything wasn’t all peaches and cream my mom always found a way like the optimist she is. I don’t say it enough but I’m so proud of her for pushing through and never giving up on me and my brother.I don’t know where I would be without her. She is my support and function and the reason I am becoming the woman I am and is proud of the person I am. And the values I carry.

Academic Success

My mom is a high school graduate, and is receiving her AA degree for project management in spring of 2027! So she can manage bigger projects,invest in land,etc.

Career

My mom has worked for the company facebook which is now meta for over a decade. With all her hard work and drive, she is now a project manager for meta working besides others on her team to build the security of that platform.

Talent

Ida has many talents! But the one I personally learned from her is how to do hair. She went back to cosmetology school in 2021 and got certified in not only hair but nails, esthetician, etc. My mom also knows how to make a wig from scratch!

Where to start? My mommy has always been my rock. I can't depend on many people but I know she always has my best interest no matter what. Even though she hates to admit it I’m literally her 2.0in all ways, to my attitude to my literal face! I'm her twin. My mom has always spoken life into me, showing me I’m worth so much more. Our bond is something so special that could never be broken, I love my mom so dearly. This woman has made a bigger then an impact on me and nothing she does or sacrifices for me goes unnoticed. I can’t wait to be everything she has helped me to be without her love and advice to give her the world.I especially can’t walk the stage in May and physically make her proud of one life achievement and many more to come. Everyone needs an Ida in their life. I get my goffiness, attitude, personality, and pretty looks from her! Words can't explain nor be formed on how much I love my mom. I would do anything for her just as she would for me. I hope she knows no matter how many times e bump heads I’m overly proud of her as not just a mom but a person, She is my BIGGESt role model.She stays on me but I know its for the best reasons and they always pay off in the end.

Lesson and Takeaways

My biggest lesson and take away from my mom is to live my life, Not to grow up so fast.To experience the world and be something. Be patient and humble.Always giving out what I want in return. And always do what’s for me and to never second guess myself.There’s many more but if I listed every lesson and takeaway i’d be typing for years, overall I take everything she says as a lesson and takeaway because she would never steer me wrong.
