When I was a child, and people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would look up at my Mom, a little shy, and she would say "a teacher or a nurse." Then I would speak up and say, "and a MOMMY." Now, as a Midwife, I get to realize both my Mother's and my own dreams. Helping people learn more about their own healthcare and watching them make choices that are right for their families has been a gift to my own life. Being a Midwife for the last 30 years means I get to watch women be good mothers every day. That is what I want for myself as well, to be a good Mother.
