I’m a proud mother of 5 kids, and even though I had my first child at 17 years old, I didn’t let that stop me from accomplishing my goal[s] and fulfilling my dreams. I couldn’t have done it without my family and friends and my biggest supporter my mother, Bonita Duplechain, and my dad who is in heaven Willie Lewis. I know he is watching over us and is proud of his girl. I’ll never forget the day before he died, he told me don’t be a quitter, step up and make your dreams come true. And guess what y’all– I did just that. I have my associate degree in Medical Records Technician and will be starting my job as a medical records audit processor on August 9th.
