Blog Post 22: Learning Through My Mom - Annie Bohannon

For most of my childhood my mom stayed at home with me and my siblings. But when I was 11 my mom decided to start her own small business. This meant lots of hard work for her and my family. I remember that I would spend hours at her store everyday after school. I helped her do small things for her store and I watched her work incredibly hard to where she is today. She's put in hours of work and sweat into something she believes in. I was lucky enough to grow up watching someone put everything on the line for something they believe in. I saw how much hard work she put in to achieve her dreams. I think this experience taught me how to work for your dreams. It also showed me how it's not easy because I saw the trials that this journey put my mom through. Knowing this and having the skills to work hard even when it gets tough will help me get through college and help me succeed later in life.
