College student but first Mother!

    I am currently a mother to an almost 15-month-old little girl named, Sophia! When I first decided that I wanted to go back to school and get a degree the whole reason I wanted to was for her. I want her to have a wonderful life and know that she can do anything she sets her mind to. So far this week I have been able to stay up late or get up early to work on assignments. I have a wonderful support system, my family. My husband is a deputy for Davie County Sheriff's office and so his schedule is different than most. When he is off, he has been handling her so I can do schoolwork. When he is working, I am here with her, and I have been very blessed because if she is fed and has a clean diaper all she needs is toys and she is perfectly okay. She does though from time to time want attention, so I have to put schoolwork away for a little bit until she is calmed down. 

    All my classes are pretty straightforward, and I am enjoying them very much! I am hoping once I graduate from DDCC I can go to Gardner-Webb and continue my studies. I am currently getting a degree in business administration emphasis business. This degree will allow me to expand what I am wanting to pursue a career in. My main goal is to work in some type of criminal justice business, a courthouse would be amazing. My father is a cop and so is my husband, so I am around their daily lives and hear the worst of people. When they tell me stories, I have always wondered what happens to them after they hand them off to the judges and lawyers. If I got a job in the courthouse, I would be able to know exactly what happens. While I am writing this my daughter is currently asleep, so I am able to write and my husband is home, so he is taking care of her. When she is awake, and I am at my desk she thinks my laptop is a toy. I may have to purchase her a toy computer that way she thinks she is working while mommy is. 

    I hope everyone accomplishes what they are reaching for! Picture below is my little family!
