“My mom is the light of my life.”

"My mom is the light of my life. She left behind her career as a successful psychologist and her tight-knit family in Cuba in order for me to have a brighter future in America. She sacrificed so much for me and I will always be grateful that she possessed so much love for me that she was willing to give it all up." -Melissa T.

“My mom is a superhero!”

"My mom is a superhero! She has always strived to give her kids and husband everything! She worked two jobs - one as a school psychologist helping young kids in schools, academically mentally and emotionally. And a side job of kicking serious butt as a spin instructor! She is an AMAZING cook and has passed down her epic recipes to us girls! She is the best hugger, has unmatched advice and our biggest cheerleader! LAX MOM for our brother's college team. She actually DOES IT ALL! We love her to the moon and back!" -Bianca T
