I strongly believe that the current social atmosphere devalues single mothers, and overvalues father's roles. Because of this, many myths about single mothers abound. The most destructive of these myths predict that children in fatherless homes will end up as delinquents, drop-outs or teen parents. It can be a struggle, I know, but with a little support single moms can feel pretty good about themselves, and more importantly their children's future. I have strong research skills, and would like to use them to help single mothers feel better about the job they are doing in building tommorrow's leaders.
Single moms are a diverse group, but frequently experience the same problems.
Of course, my first passion is my daughter. We find lots of cheap things to do together, as our budget is a little tight right now. I also feel passionately about making the world a better place. I am fascinated by other cultures and enjoy diversity. I strongly believe that race relations in America need improvement.
