This mom shared what a typical day in her life as a working full-time parent and college student living at a women’s shelter looks like, and viewers are in awe of her hard work, focus, and openness.
TikToker Lala (@rockefeller.o), is a working mom and college student who rarely has time to slow down. Recently, the mom has been documenting her journey caring for her daughter, going to school, and working while living at a women’s shelter, and viewers are beyond inspired by her dedication, perseverance, and willingness to share her story.
Lala takes a selfie in the mirror with her daughter, the first clip in this series.
Lala starts her day by getting up at 4:30 AM. Then she heads to the toilet to wash her hands and get her daughter ready. At 7:35 a.m., Lala drops off her pigtail-sporting toddler at daycare, and then it’s time to hit the books for a 3-hour lab.
Lala, who has completed her homework for this week, takes a well-deserved break to watch anime. After lunch, it’s time for her 12 p.m. lecture, followed by another 3-hour lab.
Lab wakes up at 3:20 p.m. and Lala talks to one of her lab friends as she heads to their cars. She picks up her daughter from daycare at 3:20 p.m. for a 3 :35 p.m. playdate at a playground. Unfortunately, the diaper blowout cut short their time together.
They return to their shelter room at 5:04 pm. This is just in time for a 5 :40 pm dinner of cheeseburgers and chips, pineapple chunks, as well as apple slices.
After a 6/18 p.m. shower, Lala, who is referring to the on-screen text, mentions that hearing other people going in and out of the toilet has been difficult. The mother-daughter team ends the evening with their bedtime routines, snacks, and an episode. Bluey. Then, it’s lights out at 8:10 p.m. before it’s time to do the whole thing again.
Viewers posted their admiration and encouragement for Lala in the comments.
“You are working HARD! And, if no one has told you in a while, I’m so proud of you. Hard work will always pay off,” one supportive user said.
“Wow. “Wow. Kudos to you, girl, it will all pay off in due time,” mentioned one TikToker.
“Nothing but the GREATEST amount of respect for parents in college. Y’all work so hard, and I’m amazed,” one viewer marveled.
After thanking viewers for their support in an update video, Lala broke the good news that she and her daughter were approved for a housing program, and by the end of the month, they’ll be living in their new home.
