I am so proud of Naomi Lindsay for accepting the challenge of being a mother and a college student with a clear goal of becoming a social worker. It is her desire to understand the system(s) in America and help others to succeed despite their beginnings that drives her to the finish line. Bravo to all of the single parents who seek to better themselves while parenting; especially those who have to do it without the support of the other parent or have limited family assistance. It is unfortunate that this is the case; but too often it is true. I hope all of those who are in the middle of their journey realize that these challenges will pass one day. They will rise to a brighter future for not only themselves and society; but also their child or children. It costs nothing to encourage someone; so if you see a person with their child on campus smile and say hello, encourage her or him, and be kind instead of whispering or staring. It is so critical that we elevate everyone on their journey these days.
