Monday's are rough to get through, but this story should help you. This "supermom" is a true inspiration....she's hard core!  Brianna Hill was 38 weeks pregnant and was taking the first part of the Illinois bar exam at home. Her water broke half way through the exam. She cleaned herself up, and continued taking the test until she had to go to the hospital.

As if that wasn't bad ass enough, after Hill gave birth to her baby boy, she finished the bar exam! The staff set aside a room for her to finish the test the next day. She had hoped to take the bar when she was 28 weeks pregnant, however, the pandemic caused it to be delayed. While the results aren't in yet, the graduate of Loyola University Law School in Chicago starts work as a legal aid organizer in the city in January.

Talk about determination! No matter what you have to deal with today ladies, know you CAN do it! This woman proves how strong we can be! More details and pictures of the new baby boy here.
