Being a full-time college student is hard enough, but one Baylor University student has the incredible challenge of being a full-time student AND a mother to a 4 1/2-month-old baby girl.
When 33-year-old Katy Humphrey’s babysitter canceled at the last minute, she had no choice but to bring her daughter Millie to class with her. “Dr. Willoughby said if I ever needed to bring her to class, he was OK with it, so it made me feel relieved to know I would be able to learn and take care of my daughter,” Humphrey said.
Humphrey was determined to make it to her exercise bio chemistry class, which she was taking for her degree in exercise physiology.”I was in the Marines for 14 years as a Pashto linguist and signals analyst, and after a few friends were injured in Afghanistan, I felt called to work with wounded warriors,” she said.
Yet when the two got to class, Millie was getting fussy, and Dr. Darryn Willoughby could tell Humphrey was getting distracted as she tried to pacify the baby. To help her focus, Willoughby took Millie, and held her during the entire 55-minute class.
“I didn’t do it for myself,” Willoughby said. “It’s just about me looking out for and taking care of my students.”
“I carried her around for almost an hour and she was totally content,” Willoughby said. “We never heard a peep out of her the entire class.”
