Blog #15 Someone Overcomming Odds

A person who is overcoming odds right now is Nadya Suleman because she has six children plus her new octuplets. She has no home of her own but she lives with her mother and father in southern California. She has no job except for a disability check for 14 children. The children have no father but all come from a sperm donor. She says that she only gets to spend about 45 minutes with the infants. She also plans to go back to college and finish her bachelor’s degree and hopefully get a job after that. Her parents think that this was the stupidest idea because now she is living on their retirement and does not accept any welfare payments. But ever since she was a child all she wanted to be was a mother. Now she had become a mother of 14 children who she may or may not be able to support.
