Growing up my whole life my mom was telling me how incredible and special I was and that I was going to change the world. I think it's important for girls to know that they can change the world that they do have an impact.

I hear my friends and my mom tell me I'm special but honestly I still don't get it.

My mom is at my house every day and she nags me about everything especially hygiene.

My parents especially my mother were no influence on me whatsoever.

Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.
