Brenda Gerald,今年工作母亲:我的大女儿卡西迪(25岁)在东卡罗莱纳大学获得了商业学位,她有一颗美丽的心。她有同情心,爱别人,有独特的方式能够与任何人联系。一直陪伴在她身边的是克洛伊,她的情感支持狗,帮助她克服了焦虑。他们就像豆荚里的两颗豌豆一样,到处都在一起。科林(22岁)目前在东卡罗莱纳大学主修地质学。我可以很容易地看到,有一天他会开着房车环游世界,探索生活,尽情享受生活(当然还有他可爱的狗阿波罗)。他很悠闲,很随和。我的女儿贝拉(18岁)刚从高中毕业,目前注册在维克技术学院的虚拟课堂。善良、聪明、活泼、有趣,她整个高中都是啦啦队长,朋友圈也很紧密。她是我18岁的女儿,但她的心仍然年轻。 I often look at her and think to myself, how great to be 18 and still enjoying the simple things in life, just as much as she did when she was a child. My youngest son, Jakob (16) is always up to some kind of fun and mischief. Being the baby of the family, I was a little less strict with him, so he’s used to getting away with more shenanigans than my other kids. He plays baseball, and just like most 16-year-olds, enjoys playing video games. He’s my Mr. Fix It Guy, very handy with any tool in his belt and able to repair just about anything.
林奇:我最古老的,凯瑟琳(21)正在明尼苏达州威纳州立大学的历史,并继续抓住她的硕士图书馆科学。就像她爸爸一样,她是个内向的。我们非常削减形成相同的布;我们都是书虫和自称书呆子。有一天她渴望成为一个专业作家。我的中年人,盟友(18),是伊利诺伊州立大学的新生,主修剧院教育。她是凯瑟琳的完全相反;如果有聚光灯,她希望它直接指出。非常外向,她可以和任何人交朋友。缝纫,绘画,合唱团和剧院只是她的许多兴趣之一。 If you asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up four years ago, she might have said a big Hollywood star like Scarlet Johannsen. Nowadays, she leans more towards theater education because of how much fun and impactful her high school theater career was on her. My son Patrick (15) is the youngest. A sophomore in high school, he is your typical teenage boy who left to his own devices would most likely watch YouTube and play video games all day. He also enjoys the great outdoors, camping with his Boy Scouts troop, and fishing with me or his grandpa whenever he gets the chance.
