Accomplishments
- We must remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realise what a good day is. If you never had a bad day, you would never have that sense of accomplishment.
- Perhaps cliche but Motherhood has been a massive part of my life. I have been a single mother to Jayden since he was 9. He is now completing a Math's degree bachelor of Science and wants to achieve a Master's in Mathematical Quantum Physics and then go for his Doctorate in Physics. I'm extremely proud of him as it could of quite easily gone down a different way. Supporting your children, work colleagues and friends is so important. It brings the best out of them and yourself.
