I've seen how quickly a home and garden can fall apart when there is no one around to take care of it. Creating a nurturing environment for children is the most important calling that I have felt in my life. In my eyes, I'm still too young to manage children on a daily basis, I have none of my own. But my sister's children are dear to me, and I put in as much as I can toward the health and well-being of my sister's children.

I do not think that any one way of parenting has more value than the next. Everyone has their callings. I have known perfectly wonderful people that were not raised with a stay-at-home mother/father. Many families make it work with both parents in a job.

I do not believe that the world will fall apart without the phoilosophy "a mother's place is in the home." In fact, the world is better for more women and mothers in the workplace. As long as there is a loving woman in an office, I have hope for the growing fray of cut-throat businesses. Just because my place isn't an office, doesn't mean it isn't someone else's.

I see myself one day becoming a mother that makes her home and children her greatest concern. I'd still like a PHD in plant science, and I'd like to have a research lab at a university. But I also would like to be the woman who lives for her family, and gives them her greatest concern.
