R: What type of mother were you back then?
G:I am a spiritual women from Panama that loved the very thought of children and knew that I had to show them that life is in the palm of their hands .They just needed to reach out and grab it .
R: What was one of the most difficult things or tasks you had to perform as a mother, wife and student?
G: Well, I would say that juggling the three things was difficult because there really was no room for pleasure. The children were more important than life itself and my husband was the back bone of the family .So I would say that keeping my husband happy and the children in order was the most difficult.
R: What would have made the transition to college a little better?
G: Waiting to have children would be at the top of the list and then gaining financial stability .I would have still gotten married because he was my rock during my college years.

Work hard and remember that the endeavor that you have chosen to embark on isn't just for you .You now have more than one person to think about. When you feel like giving up, say I can’t, when you feel like throwing in the towel, say i will not and when you feel like life has dealt you a bad hand look outside the box.
R: How did you joggle your three jobs (mother, wife, college?
G: Very carefully! No, my husbands needs come before the needs of my children and everyone else in my life .The Bible says for me to be a submissive women and that does not mean for me to be a door mat but be a helpmate for my husband .Allowing him to e
mbark on the world and standing by his side to cheer him on. You have to find a way that works for you as a family .My way was to make sure that the man is happy and then the rest of the world is o.k. children knew that there are chores and duties that needed to be done around the house. College was something that I based around my family .Classes were after the children were dropped off at daycare and picked up after my classes.G: Gloria Maria Foster de Husband

Ultimately, I left my mothers house with a new found respect for her and the things that she had to endure as a 
women. She was the true back bone of the family and because of that my brother and I are very productive people today. My brother has been on his own for many years taking care of his daughter and living the American dream .Then there is myself and I have taken up the touch of mothering and showing my children that women can multi task and still take care of self. Below is yet another example of being a mother, wife and women while making a difference.

This was a really nice interview, Renee. You got your mother to talk about some important things. What I'd like to see is more of an intro and more aof a conclusion. What do you draw from this talk with your mother? What does it mean to you? Think about it.
