Jaime Wolfley, a junior from Rexburg, is a mother of two. Kaitlyn, 3, and Chase, 2, are her first priorities.

Wolfley is sacrificing for what the apostles and prophets have called a woman’s highest calling.

“Many years ago the First Presidency issued a statement that has had a profound and lasting influence upon me,” said Elder Russell M. Nelson, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve.

‘Motherhood,’ they wrote, ‘is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels,’” Elder Nelson said.

Wolfley has had to rearrange her life to sacrifice for Kaitlyn and Chase.

“All areas of your life get put on the back burner for your children, including school and social plans,” Wolfley said.

If someone calls and wants to do something, she has to think about her children.

Children have always been important.

When Wolfley got married, she knew she would be starting a family.

“It wasn’t a matter of thinking twice,” Wolfley said.

Though there is sacrifice, mothers who are also students said the sacrifice is worth it.

Elise Thrap is a senior from Madison, Ala. and mother of one.

She said that even though being a full-time student is more difficult being a mother, being a mother is defiantly worth it.

Her daughter Charlene is 10 months old.

Wolfley feels the same, even though her education will take much longer to complete

Wolfley plans to get a bachelor’s degree in organizational communication, eventually.

Wolfley said if she was going to school full time, she would graduate next December.

However, she only takes three to six credits at a time.

This way she can be home with her children.

She will graduate in two and a half to three years.

“My attitude is that school is very important and school will always be there, and my children will only be under the age of five for a few years,” Wolfley said.
