Women of Strength

In recent weeks I have been letting people know about returning to school full time. In addition to school fill time I will be working full time, and of course being a full time single mom. I am doing this to be able to provide my son with a better future, but some have called me a women of strength.

I do not see myself as a women of strength. There are so many women out there that fight to protect there children from abuse, that have fought for the rights of people, or stand up and fight for so many other things. I am not saying I am not a strong women, but there are women out there that have accomplished so much more and have to fight on a day to day basis.

I have to say that my mother is one women of strength that I look up to. She had to fight to protect us from our dad, whom was abusive. She did everything in her power to protect us, and there are so many women out there that does this. I look up to those women. They are true women of strength. They put there children's lives in front of theirs. I would do the same thing if I had to, but I pray to God that I never do.

I do not consider myself a women of strength, I consider myself a mom. A mom that will work her butt off for the next few years to make sure that her son will have clothing, food, shelter, and a good education. If by some means I can give him more I will, but he will learn that things are never just given. Everyone should have to work for what they have, including him.
