I was actually a pretty good student. My problem was that I didn't know what I wanted to study.

I started teaching myself, taking a breath or a moment that's not overreacting or having an explosion. It made me such a better person. Let alone a better mother, but also just a better human.

Growing up poor, I never missed out on anything. My parents did a beautiful job of not making me feel like I was lesser than any other kids.

Dads - and people in general - should keep in mind that we as mothers put enough pressure on ourselves. We don't need outside pressure put on us.

Children are f - king crazy. They're also suicidal.

I went to college because I felt like I was supposed to. I graduated from public high school and I did all the things that I was supposed to do.

Another important thing to learn is that kids have a personality that has nothing to do with you.
