Sonia's Choice on Having Children

I can understand the choice that Sonia made about not having children. She has Diabetes, that could be passed down to her child. She never thought she would make it past forty. Unfortunately, so many people think that if you are a mother you are not able to have your own career. I don't think that is the reason why she decided not to have children. I think that Sonia was following her gut and she knew that the things she wanted to achieve would leave little time to tend to a child. Sonia looks back at her own childhood and there were many instances that her mother was not around because she was working. It seems that she didn't want to  put her child through the same thing, knowing how demanding her job was. Although, it never took away at how she viewed her mother because her mother was a hard worker. Sonia made a choice not to have children, but she still was an amazing aunt to her nieces and nephews and all of her god children.
