Momma
In the United States, three out of about 12 million single parent families in 2014, more than 80%, were headed by single mothers. Today one in four children under the age of 18 — a total of about 17.4 million — are being raised without a father and nearly half live below the poverty line. Unfortunately, my mother and I fall into those statistics. Considering there are many single mothers, to some, my mother may not be special. Although personally, my mom is set apart from those mothers and the reasons behind that are the same exact reason as to why she is my personal hero. My momma is my personal hero because is strong willed, she has raised me by herself, and sacrificed things for me.

Who Is Gloria Steinem?
Few feminist names will ever be as big as Gloria Steinem's. Her name is one that has been inextricably linked with both the women's feminist movement of the 60s and 70s, as well as the Civil Rights movement. Among feminists, she's revered. Among misogynists, she's reviled.

A Miraculous Story of Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a condition that occurs during pregnancy and affects about 2–6% of healthy first time moms. It is a dangerous disease for both mother and child that may not always shows signs, especially for new mothers who have no idea what to expect or what's normal. Each case can vary widely from developing in mid pregnancy, during labor, and even six weeks after delivery. If undetected or untreated, issues can progress quickly, leading to other issues like HELLP syndrome. Luckily, healthcare providers keep a close look out for this condition which is why at every prenatal visit a mother's blood pressure is taken as well as checking for protein in her urine. Both indicators of preeclampsia.
