I left 'Octomom.' I went back to my life as a counselor. — © Nadya Suleman
I left 'Octomom.' I went back to my life as a counselor.
As 'Octomom,' I was the walking dead. When I woke up and I went back to my roots, my helping profession, and my kids, we were struggling financially, but it didn't matter. I never felt so free and so happy in my life.
When I ran away from the 'Octomom' persona, I went right back into my healthy lifestyle.
I am surrounded by counselors. My sister is a counselor. My daughter is training to be a counselor. A lot of my friends are counselors.
Ed Welch says that all counseling is a variation on a single theme: knowing and praying for the counselee. Of all the questions the counselor might ask, then, the central guiding question in the counselor's mind is, "How can I pray for you?
I would say that my role model, as far as just somebody leading by example, which to me is what a great youth counselor does - they are there to talk to and lead by example - would be my mom, but she wasn't a youth counselor. She was a teacher, and she is a good person and definitely one of the biggest influences in my life.
Octomom was media-created.
I never coined the term 'Octomom.'
That's exactly what Octomom is: a carnival attraction.
I attended a high school with more than 4,000 students and met with a guidance counselor only once during my four-year stint. Despite my clear strengths in science and math, my counselor's advice was to pursue a degree in business. A career in engineering was never encouraged nor, in fact, ever mentioned.
With this job people want so much from you and of course I understand, but if you don't keep that back, then what have you got left? If you auction off parts of your life you are left with nothing but a bag of money and no soul.
I can play at left-back and I can help the team at times. But everyone knows I am not a left-back.
I can say, out of my whole life, my dad left the situation at an early age for me; he left. But my mum turned her back on me.
I never set out to become an 'octomom.'
It was a coach called Adailton Ladeira who first asked me to play as left-back in 1988. I was a left-winger, but our left-back was injured at Uniao Sao Joao, my first club, and he asked me to fill in. I said 'no problem,' and I've played there ever since.
There's nobody, possibly, who could have hated 'Octomom' more than I.
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
