Nothing carries more joy than the laughter of youth. My family has been my motivation for going back to school. I dedicate between 11 to 13 hours daily working to support my young family before doing my schoolwork. By the time that I get home, I am often physically and mentally exhausted. When I open the front door, I am welcomed by the laughter of my children playing and the joy on their faces when they realize that I'm home. My children remind me regularly to take joy in the little things in life.
