Lady Z was featured as an exceptional woman who achieved the pillars of her goals. Her memoir presented a consistent narrative of her life’s challenges illumined a notable trait of courage and a remarkable strength to have excelled in education without a maternal guidance, surpassed the battle of being a single mom, and was able to balance time to combine career and advanced studies. The agents of Lady Z’s success carved a persona of being independent and strong when her mom left her when she was a child. This event was repeated when her husband also left her and her children. These scenarios catapulted her success stories characterized with an illumined assiduousness to be resilient to life with strong faith in God. To Lady Z, becoming a successful individual necessitated to have possessed the values of being resilient in obtaining double jobs and by being emotionally strong. By being a teacher, Lady Z advocated to use life’s examples in teaching and to become more humanistic in the journey of teaching. By becoming a teacher, Lady Z believed that being successful in life would start with a big dream. The most important piece of advice she yielded was to never lose a sight to educate a child.
