Karen keeps pictures of her sons on her
book at work and in her purse.
"My major joy in my life is my
children . . . They put a smile on my
face."
Karen hopes each of her sons will grow up to be the
kind of man she wishes she had married the first time. She wants them
to be good citizens, kind, loving, caring, that they be the best they
can be, and that they be happy.
For the most part, Karen's managers are
understanding of her being a single mother, especially since
many people who work at the Olive Garden are single parents.
"Most of [the managers] are pretty considerate
of the fact that we have families and things come up, but there's always
the exception of managers who don't care whether your kids are sick."
We asked Karen: If given $10,000, what
would you do with it?
"I would probably just pay off
bills . . . not very exciting. It's been quite a rough
road."
