    I am a mom and a dad to my son, I work and spend time with

    my son and do all what couples do. I know it’s not easy to that but I have done

    it in 5 years of being a single mom.  I

    gave my son the love he need than some of the parents do. Just imagine work a

    young man in the home and looking for all the attention from mom and dad, but I

    do give that attention. I do have rules that I manage to have timeout without

    him in the house where he will stay for 30min to 1 hr without getting on my

    way. He does not have TV, Games and most of other things in his room that most moms

    give their kids.  I grow up with none of

    those things but am still ok and am better than kids who had everything in life.

    I learn to value life and things more, my parent give me knowledge than

    material things. That’s what I’m giving my son.

     

     

     

     

     

    I just wanted to share with you that charity begins at home,

    (You have to teach your kids when they are younger that nobody will stop them

    to be anything they what to be). I have trained my son, to be able to do

    anything he wishes to do. I tell him no failure in his life; if he fails he has

    to pick up himself. I teach him that nothing is impossible in his life as a

    single mom I have many challenges but I put them behind me. I have goes in his

    life he knows what is to be poor or rich. So all African Americans we need to

    teach our kids the foundation of life. This video you will see, what I have

    done is instead of him doing nothing, since is not going to school I traveled

    with him to my business meeting and he was able to make video that shows that

    he loves being around positive people. I think most parents should train their

    kids at early age to be able to learn things outside school and books.
