Sentiment: POSITIVE
My desire, my passion, was to help moms with practical encouragement.
I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.
I was hoping I could become a success to give my mother and my father a better way of living.
So it was a thing that my mother always taught me to go for your goals and never give up no matter what they are, and I started believing that later on in life.
I know my parents are really proud of me, and they think I've become successful, so that's nice, but there's still so much I want to achieve in my life.
My parents told me that education was the path to success - and they showed me, taking me to Head Start while they were pursuing their own college degrees.
My mom is a teacher, my dad was a writer for television, his dad was a writer for television, and combining those two has been sort of the goal of my life.
All I wanted to do was come into my own and find out my career path and what I wanted to do with my life - but, at the same time, showing respect to my father and mother and make them proud as well.
My mother's passion for something more, to write a different destiny for a dirt-poor farmer's daughter, was to shape my entire life.
My biggest goal for the future is motherhood.
