Abstract
The primary purpose of this study is to
explore the plights of college student-mothers of Legacy College of Compostela.
The focus was on understanding the challenges, coping mechanisms, and insights
of student-mothers. Ten participants were selected through purposive sampling,
and data was collected through face-to-face in-depth interviews. Participants
juggled between their roles as students and mothers, struggling with time
management and societal judgments. However, their determination to succeed and
support from family fueled their perseverance. Despite negative stereotypes,
they found inspiration in their children and developed resilience. Coping
mechanisms included seeking advice, maintaining positivity, and managing time
effectively. School support varied, with some receiving significant assistance
while others faced limited support. Overall, the experiences of student-mothers
reflect a complex interplay of challenges, resilience, and determination,
ultimately enabled by unwavering commitment and support.
