LaDawn Lundstrom. My mother is the leading role in my life and I could never thank her enough for her dedication to my life. My mother has raised my brother and I alone and has always shown unconditional love for the both of us. When my mother was 21 when she had my older brother
Dante and was completely unaware of the difficult life changes that the future would hold as a single, young mother.

I hope that one day after I graduate college my mother will look at me with pride and know that I have always been consistent with my career goals and am doing what I love, especially with integrity.
Speaking of integrity, my mother has helped the development of my leadership skills by simply being such an incredibly strong leader. As a district manager of seven stores in south
Nashville region, she has plenty of accountability, and employees to lead. My mother always reflects who her leadership skills in any and every situation by being integrity driven at work or at home. Whether it’s a large or small issue, my mother always mentors me by a gentle
