There is no role with which I have identified more than that of a working mother. Like most humans, I’ve carried many labels. I've been a daughter, sister, student, teacher, friend, and wife. None has ever defined me as much as being a working mother. Becoming a mother was a huge role that I wholeheartedly dove into and which did become a major part of my identity. Going back to work, when my sons started school, thrust me into the role of working mother. I wore that label like a badge of honor.
