Diligent mom finishes a college exam while in labor

Diligent mom finishes a college exam while in labor

Multitasking will prove to be a useful skill as she enters motherhood.

When a woman starts going into labor, her mind tends to race through many things: anxiety, fear, excitement but not all moms can focus on taking an important exam.

As Tommitrose Collins went into labor, she did not forget about her other priorities. She calmly took a college Psychology exam while waiting to give birth.

In this photo (which has been shared over 14,000 times) posted by her proud sister Shanell on facebook, we see the new mom finishing the exam determinedly on her laptop.

This is what you call “Strong Priorities”. Contractions 3 minutes apart and still takes her Psychology Test! You are going to be a great Mom baby sis! Posted by Shanell Brinkley-Chapman on Thursday, November 12, 2015

After her sister gave birth to her niece Tyler, Shanell shared this photo on her facebook page.

The AMAZING strength of a woman!! Great Job sis! Love you! Tyler Elise Posted by Shanell Brinkley-Chapman on Thursday, November 12, 2015
