    My heart goes out to you sweetie. When I first watched your channel the other day you had just came up randomly and I thought omg a 21 year old as a teacher?! So interesting and when I was watching you, you just seemed so loving, caring, and pure. I would’ve never guessed that you’ve gone through these hard times with your family, especially your mom. But you know what? You are truly an Angel sent from above, you were definitely meant to be your mothers daughter and God knew you could be there for her to help take care of her. It may seem like you will never heal, but keep putting all of your trust in God. ❤️ you are going to be the best mother one day because you had the best and also because you truly understand and appreciate everything that she did for you. I’m sorry that your time was cut short with her in the physical life, but she’s always going to be with you forever wherever you go. When you walk down that isle, when you have your first baby, through all your good and bad times in life. ❤️

    I know your mom was your purpose when she was here, let her still be your purpose. Let her be the reason you don't give up and you continue to achieve all your goals you have for yourself. Your fiancé came to you at a time in your life when you needed someone, he will be your purpose, being a wife, and a future mom. You have your students and your fiancé , and family to keep you going ♡ your mom left knowing you got this thing called life. ❤❤❤ I'm 28 and your story is an inspiration to me 🥰❤

Bless you and your family. 🙏🏽 P.S I really wanted to wipe your tears and give you a hug!

    Hello Jessica! We have the same first name and we kinda share a similar story. I had a cousin named Leonel with disability and we had to learn new skills to make him comfortable. He passed away in 2014 and one of the things I miss the most about him is his simile. He always made the people around him smile and laugh by making jokes or doing magic tricks. I know how difficult it is to find a purpose in life.
    I am currently going to college to become an Elementary School Teacher. I am a junior in college at Arkansas Tech University. I think it is beautiful to teach students and to be able to experience their growth from the beginning of the school year to the last day of school. I am typing this out at 12 at night because I just submitted school work and wanted to take a break. I hope to continue learning from your videos about school. I am praying that you find your purpose and that you stay strong and positive. ❤️👏🏻😊

    Love your testimony. I know it wasn’t easy. You’re doing the right thing. I’m glad you are keeping busy and love what you’re doing. Your mom wants that for you. She would not want you to be stuck at home to where it would lead to depression. I’m a single mom and it’s not easy being the mom and dad but we do everything we can to fill that void of the absent parent so that our children don’t feel the absence. You keep pushing forward. God bless. ❤️❤️🙏

    May God continue to give you strength and wisdom. It is not easy at all, but you have shown to be a really strong person. Tienes esa luz que brilla y que nadie te la apague Jess. I know you will accomplish many things and continue to inspire others. God has a purpose for everyone and he knows and sees the big heart that you have. He has lots in store for you.
    I just graduated college and seeing how much passion you have for your career really warms my heart and I wish that others had that love and commitment for what they do. God bless you Jess!
