Jo the single momma part 5 of 5
People often tell me go back to school, get a degree, and if I am home I point to my ‘power wall’. My power wall has two associates’ degrees, and five various awards I have earned; English professional, math professional, and 2 computer related awards. These are all just wall decorations they serve no real purpose for me. These wall decorations are an ego trip if you will. Perhaps Joe the plumber’s salary will pay off those college loans for me so the interest quits climbing because I cannot find a job.
Life is tough for Jo the single momma, but I do not complain much. I am a proud woman, and my parents taught me it is far better to give then receive. I was named Amy Jo at birth. My parents simply call me Jo; they always have. Joe the plumber’s fictional salary is what I desire, but my parents taught me as a child that hard work is what makes a person successful. Therefore, since I cannot find work in the traditional sense I will continue to my living as a writer and doing the best I can as a single mom.
