The marriage was fast. The kids were not. They came ten years later. At 22, it wasn't just Lamar who wasn't ready. I didn't think I would be a good mother. I still don't know if I ever was, but I knew I would be a good doctor. A really good one. And it was at a time when there were almost no doctors who look like me that mattered. I had a goal, a mission, something to prove, and I proved it.
