I am the first person in my family to graduate from college, and I couldn\u2019t have done that without my mother\u2019s advice always being with me. Though I faced many obstacles throughout my college career, my mom was always there to motivate me to keep pushing forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a full-time student, there were a few semesters where I was taking 7 classes, all while working 3 jobs. I can\u2019t even begin to describe how stressful that was. Every time I wanted to give up, my mom was there to remind me just how worth it everything would be in the end. And she was right. Now, I can\u2019t even believe how lucky I am to be working for Aerie, a brand that I have admired for years. I truly couldn\u2019t have made it here without my mother\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, one of my favorite pieces of advice from my mother is to always be my true, authentic self. My mom has instilled that in all four of her children and taught us to always be proud of who we are. That\u2019s why my mom is #AerieREAL.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To treat her mom for Mother&#8217;s Day, Taylor picked the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/featured-aerie-smocked-maxi-dress-white\/aerie\/s-prod\/7495_9719_100?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_190422\">Smocked Maxi Dress<\/a>. &#8220;My mom absolutely LOVES sundresses, especially on a bright sunny day.
