Why Becoming A Mother Was The Best Thing To Happen To Me

It's a tiring job, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Why Becoming A Mother Was The Best Thing To Happen To Me
Ashley Sweeney

I found out I was pregnant with my daughter exactly one month before turning twenty-one.

I sort of already knew before taking both pregnancy tests in the box since I had been insanely tired the weeks before, but strangely enough, those little blue lines still left me sitting there pants down on the toilet, teary-eyed and speechless. I remember opening the bathroom door and telling my husband, who was surprisingly so okay with the news, and that was when our lives would begin to change for the better. Who would have thought that peeing on a little stick would change your life forever?

Months later, I gave birth to a tiny little girl who would end up being my best friend.

Now motherhood is no walk in the park. You sort of have to learn on the job, as well as being insanely tired, cleaning up bodily fluids, and dealing with fussy little humans, but it's also one of the most rewarding things in the world.

As I've turned from just a woman to a mother, I've seen it's the best thing to happen to me. I don't just take care of my daughter, but she takes care of me. She's taught me patience, and how to be selfless, she's shown me how to love a person unconditionally and how to care for one so much you never want to leave them. I hate how fast time is going by, but I love watching her grow.

I don't even know if I'm doing the whole mom thing right, but I know I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Becoming a mom gave me so much more purpose that I didn't think I'd ever need, but everything I do now is for the better of my daughter.

Becoming a mom is a full-time, consistent job and I couldn't be any luckier to have this job.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
