This is the Bishop Statement at Bishop State Community College. We want you to hear what our students, educators, and business leaders have to say.

My name is Metarica Terry LaMille, and my major is general education. Some of the obstacles I have overcame at Bishop State is proving that I can show up consistently, even when my life was heavy. There are moments where I still feel overwhelmed by balancing work, leadership, parenting, and school, but Bishop reminded me that I'm capable of growth and not perfection, that I'm supported as long as I'm committed to being a better person than I was yesterday. My peers can depend on me. I'm there being poured into, but some of those students don't know that the faculty and staff are really there for them. So when they don't know that, I'm their resource that explain and show them that they're here to help us.

So, Lydia, you had kind of a warm, heartfelt moment happen in your family for Mom's Day.

Yeah, so this was the first time in 30 years of my mom being the stepmom to my half-brother. So for those of you who don't know, my brother is my half-brother because we have different moms. So my dad was married before he was married to my mom and they went into a marriage with two kids, basically. OK, that was kind of confusing. Sorry. No, no, I like it. But I, yeah, I get it. So we spent Mother's Day together for the first time in 30 years. My brother has always spent Mother's Day with his mom in Chicago, but he decided that he was going to come to Frankenmuth with me, my mom and my dad. Mother's Day, I was going to say today. I don't know why. And when we were there, we were like all having such a great time. And he pulled out this card for my mom. And inside of the card, it said, I'm so happy to be calling you my mom. Thank you for being there for me for the past, you know, 30 years of his life. Mom. Wow. That's beautiful. And she's never gotten a card or he's never referred to her as that before? No, he's always called her cyan. He's never called her mom. So when he wrote all this down in the card, we were actually all taken aback that he called her mom. Because every time I'm talking about her, I refer to her as my mom and our dad. I never call her mom. So once he said that and put that in the card, I was like, wow, this is crazy to me.

And what was Cyan's response to that?

Oh, she was so happy. Are they close, Lydia? um honestly i i would say that they they have like a different relationship so they they have been kind of close like she helped raise him when he would stay at my dad's house because he was predominantly with my dad most of the time and he would go see his mom like maybe every other

weekend okay do you think your mom would talk about this yeah i think for sure but their

relationship i feel like has just been like on and off because he had moved out at 21 and then he didn't really talk to my mom as much and was trying to figure out his own life as 20-year-old

boys do. I like this that for you because I know that you and your brother and his wife have a relationship and I do think that there's from the stories that you've told like you know you love you've gone on trips with his wife and you guys have had fun and stuff like that and I think you look to him as an older brother but I think that there's also probably that little wedge that you guys have in there that you don't each have the same parents yeah because it's like it's like

divided like even holidays are divided and I don't talk to my sister yeah my half sister which is also his full sister yeah when he's spending time with her sometimes I do get jealous and I'm sure like my dad feels some kind of way because him and my sister don't talk either how did your dad

how did George

like that his son did this to his wife oh he was beaming was he he was really happy and it just

makes me feel like my brother will come around more often and he's never not come around because of my mom he's just you know had his own life and done his own thing and maybe it's just taken

him this long to get comfortable with you know calling your mom for sure yeah and i think he

never wanted to disrespect his own mom for sure yep and he's got a mom right he does have a mom

but also cyan was has also been in a part of his life for 30 years i don't know how old your brother is how old is your brother he's 40 so so he was 10 years old he was he's still a little kid at the time that she was part of his life first off let me say this divorce sucks divorce and relationship situations like this suck for the kids because every kid's dream is to have their mom and their dad to be together forever right yep unfortunately that does happen it's not the kid's fault uh and it's not the parent's fault it's just you know matter of life but i think that everybody can kind of come around and realize that it's better that we all love instead of all just throw out a bunch of, you know, hate out there. And I know your mom. Your mom is a good lady.

She is.

And she's a sweet, sweet woman. I'm going to call her mom. I just think that, Kev, will you call her mom too? Cyan? Yeah. I want to call her mother-in-law. Oh. Let's not get weird this far into the show. That's a different card. By the way, Cyan just heard that and. Yes. I love that. I think that that's wonderful. And I think if I was in, I know Shannon, you have, you know, step kids and stuff. If I was in a situation where I wasn't with Chelsea, but was with another woman and she had, you know, they had kids and stuff. I wouldn't want their kids calling me dad because they already had a dad. yes but if they felt like i was a good enough dad figure to them i would hope that one day i'm sure you do too with uh with wes's kids as well as your kids with wes you want them to look at that person

as an extension of the parent that you are right i would like to be acknowledged as a parent but like sam and kieran have a fabulous mom yeah you know um so yeah and like i think of i think of myself in that situation i've never really called my stepmom mom like i call her her name's kristen i call her chris uh and i love her to absolute death but like i i don't know i've just never

called her mom like i call my mom mom do you think it would be disrespectful to your mom if you called her mom because i think a lot of times people look at it uh yeah yeah yeah i kind of do like i

i don't know but like but like i i send her mother's day cards and if people ask me a question And like, sometimes I'll be like, oh, you know, I have, I don't know.

I think that's the thing as a kid. And maybe this is the thing with your brother. He doesn't want to disrespect his own mom because he probably knows that divorce was tough. And so that's, you know, no, no taking away from how, how your mom is, but he's like, you know what? I don't want to disrespect my own mother. That's such a real feeling. I felt like when my mom died and my dad remarried, I would never call his wife, uh, mom because because i felt like my mom your mom is your mom my mom is my mom but in reality i used to tell the kids that's your grandma so wow a lot of in a lot of cases honestly she was an incredible grandma actually she would and she never had kids of her own but she was more maternal as a grandma and you would see her with the kids constantly playing with them and making things my stepmom is very much like that with lucid yeah yeah uh does does your dad's uh wife uh have uh her own children or no no so that's the same situation yeah so it's kind of like you guys are kind of an kind of like her kids yeah and then you're and then do the kids call her grandma or what they

call her nama yeah all the all the grandmas are namas yeah that's wonderful what a beautiful

story lydia i love this i i love i'm glad that we got to it i wish that uh i wouldn't have been so dumb and missed it yesterday i missed it on the show sheet yesterday nope it's okay but it's such a cool thing and i hope one day i get a chance to meet your your brother oh i would love that for that to happen it would be kind of cool because it would be cool for your brother to meet his real father me oh god luke i am your father wouldn't that be funny

i thought you were supposed to be my chaldean brothers so you're also supposed to be the

He doesn't know about. And by the way, if I was your father, I'd keep Kevin as far away from you as possible. Lydia, my dog. Hey, guys, it is Ryan for...

This is the Bishop Statement at Bishop State Community College. We want you to hear what our students, educators, and business leaders have to say.

Alan Lee, my major is drafting and design. In high school, I did it since my sophomore year, and I kind of wanted to continue it. It was the only thing I was good at. I didn't want to move to a four-year yet. I don't think I'm mentally prepared. I found Bishop State. They had the program. I met a few people there. I ended up enrolling. The instructor, first day I met him, I told him about my background. He said, okay, great, you know about this. He built me straight to work. He didn't let me have any leeway. He pushed me to my limits. So I think that made me choose drafting design at Bishop State and stuck with it. The sport's amazing. All my instructors just want to see me succeed. They want to push me to my limit. They want to see me be the best I can be, get a job, just be as successful as I can be. And I really appreciate all of them. With my degree, as of right now, my plan is to work for the city of Mobile with their urban planning department, and I've already got a job shadow before, and hopefully I will end the ship over the summer. If you choose Bishop, we're welcome to have you any day.
