"Raising a small child as a woman while travelling 10 months out of the year would, I believe, be something I would not be able or even want to do, although with the amazing example of Leila, I am no longer so sure"

This quote by Lara St. John speaks to the trouble of raising a child while taking a trip 10 months out of the year. St. John expresses her belief that she would not be able or even want to do this, but she is no longer so sure. This is likely due to the example of Leila, who is probably someone who has effectively managed to raise a small child while travelling. St. John's appreciation for Leila's example suggests that she is now thinking about the possibility of raising a little kid while taking a trip. This quote talks to the power of example and how it can influence us to handle difficulties that we may have formerly thought were impossible. It also speaks to the significance of having a helpful neighborhood and the impact that it can have on our lives.
