My mother is the strongest and most generous woman I know. She has always been there to support me and lift me up. It is because of her that I have such a strong work ethic and drive to succeed. It is because of her that I am finally a software engineer and working in the tech industry. It was my mother that invested in me, yet again, when she helped me purchase a new laptop so that I could start learning to code. I had not had a personal computer since 2008 when my laptop was stolen in college.
It is because of her belief in me that she helped me achieve my dream of becoming a software engineer. I am glad to have made her proud of me and what I have accomplished in the last four months of completing training with Revature and being selected by Cognizant.
I know many women that are deserving of their stories being told and though there is more to my mom than the hard work and sacrifices she has made; I am proud to be her son and proud of what she has accomplished in her own life. My mom is a successful small-business owner and even works another job. I am proud to celebrate my mom and Women’s History Month.
