In a remarkable display of multitasking, a mother named Sarah Collins captured hearts during her graduation ceremony at Harmony College, where she received her degree in nutrition. Sarah was initially hesitant to attend the ceremony because her infant son, Leo, was not yet accustomed to bottle feeding, raising concerns about being away from him for an extended period.
Fortunately, she was allowed to have Leo present during the ceremony, with the understanding that he would not accompany her onstage. Sarah took to the Facebook group “Breastfeeding Empowerment” to share her experience: “This is simply part of being a mom for me,” she expressed. “While backstage, I received a mix of compliments and disapproving looks as I nursed Leo.”
It’s disheartening to think that such a strong multitasker would face negativity, but thankfully, the positive reactions greatly outnumbered the negative ones. “Before I headed out to the main area, I noticed several women admiring me nursing Leo and snapped a picture. I was just enjoying the moment and reflecting on my academic journey, grateful for my supportive network,” she shared.
Sarah’s experience is a testament to the resilience of mothers juggling multiple roles, especially those pursuing education while raising children. “Supporting one another is what matters most! It’s unfortunate that many women feel uncomfortable doing something so natural,” she remarked in an interview with the Daily Health Journal.
The response to her photo has been overwhelmingly positive, indicating a shift in societal attitudes. “During the ceremony, my phone buzzed with notifications that my photo was shared in local parenting groups,” Sarah recalled, still amazed by the supportive comments that flooded in after the event.
Congratulations to Sarah for her achievement!
