What is one question you wish you could ask your mother?

The question I will ask her is, would she do anything different in the upbringing of me with the knowledge she has now.

If you had all the money in the world to do one thing right now, what will it be?

Take a world tour. Particularly a European tour and visit countries like mItaly,Spain,Scotland Ireland, Paris etc.

What is a goal you would like to achieve in the next ten years?

By then my children would be educated and Independent. I would also be financially Independent and have my own school.

What was your dream job when you were

younger?

My dream job was to be a rich man's wife. I thought I was beautiful,intelligent and educated enough to be the mate of a successful businessman, and be at his side supporting him in whatever endeavor he chose to pursue.

If you could go back in time to one moment, where would it be?

I think I would go back to my wedding day. I believe now that a wedding is the joining of a marriage and not just a ceremony. Too

much time was spent focusing on other things like the food and decorations. So if I could, I would relive my wedding day with the main

focus being on him and I.

What do you wish you did differently when you were a new mother?

Admiring the beauty of my children. I was a young mother, and I was very paranoid with everything making sure they were safe,healthy clean. I mothered my children out of a book, I never had anyone to help me. Before my children came I read several books about childcare, and most of my medical information was based on what I read. Because of that I was more concerned with doing the right thing, than appreciating them for who they are.

What is the hardest thing about being a mother?What is the best thing about being a mother?

Sacrifice, that is definitely the toughest thing, and the ungratefulness that comes with it. But if you choose to do it anonymously that is the burden you have to endure. The best thing about being a mother is the success of your children. I raise my children to fear God, and they understand that "they are the head and not the tail".
