Hi Steemit, I am a working mom and studying for a law degree while helping my husband with his business.

Hello Steemit,

My name is Anissa Bouguerra.
I’m 37 and the extremely proud mother of my 13 years old son Tibo.

This is my son in his soccer outfit, he is already a great player and I hope he can follow his dream and join a big team later. The only thing we do not agree is that he is a fan of Real Madrid, just like his dad and I love Barca!

I was born and raised in the beautiful historic city of Gent, in a tiny country in Europe called Belgium. My mother was from Belgium and my dad from Algeria.
I grew up together with my brother @omarb who is just addicted to anything with computers, it was of course he who introduced me to cryptocurrency and now to Steemit.
Our parents got divorced when I was only 2 years old and our father was mostly absent in our life, it was our mother that always took care of us. It was not easy and we had a lot of financial problems but this helped me to understand the true value of money. I quit school when I was 18, my wish had always been to study law but at that time I gave up my dream and I chose to earn money for my family.
Unfortunately my mother died in 2012 after a long fight with cancer. She tried to fight it for 8 years but eventually she had to give up. My father also died two years later after having being sick with Alzheimer.

After living in Gent for 20 years I moved with my husband to the countryside, to a small town named Eke-Nazareth. I have been together with my husband for 22 years but it was only 2 years ago that we finally made it official and got married.

My husband is an independent constructor, he is completely obsessed with building gigantic tent-structures. He provides the knowhow and quality workforces for many big companies and festivals like Pukkelpop, Tomorrowland, Jazz Ghent, ….

I work as a full time administrative clerk and in the evening I also help my husband with his company. Two years ago I took a big step and started studying law and if everything goes well, in one year I will be the proud owner of my degree as a legal expert. I am very interested in how the law will respond to these new technologies like Steem or DAO's. We can only speculate how our current economic and governance systems will adapt.

I feel happy in life because I am very sure that my mother would be very proud of my achievements. In the course of the years I have experienced a lot of difficult situations. Dealing with these things has helped me to become the person that I am today. I will be writing about these experiences on steemit in my future posts.

Thank you very much for reading my short intro and hopefully you will also read my future posts here on steemit.
