In her journey as a student-athlete and mother, Brittany Brewer, a talented softball player at Bowie State University, faced the challenge of balancing her responsibilities both on and off the field. During her sophomore year, she discovered she was pregnant with her son, Braylon, and while her family was concerned that she would abandon her education and career, Brittany was determined to prove them wrong.
Despite facing doubts and skepticism from others, including Braylon's father, Brian Tabori, Brittany remained steadfast in her determination to excel in school, softball, and motherhood. She managed to achieve remarkable success, being recognized for her athletic prowess as an all-conference player and earning academic honors on the dean's list. Last month, she proudly graduated.
Brittany attributes her achievements to the unwavering support of her family, particularly Brian, who has been by her side throughout the journey. This support has become even more crucial as they navigate Braylon's autism diagnosis. They recall the emotional impact of the diagnosis and the uncertainty of managing Brittany's responsibilities as a full-time student, teacher, and mother while also playing softball. However, they tackled each day as it came, relying on their resilience and teamwork.
Brittany's message to others is to never set limits on themselves. She encourages individuals to push themselves to their fullest potential, emphasizing that with determination, there are no boundaries to what can be achieved. Brittany recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education, and her story serves as an inspiration to all who face challenges while striving to achieve their dreams.
