A mother at 14 years old, FAU hurdler on her way to Master's degree | Video

FAU huddler Jamika Glades became a mom at 14 but the standout track star was determined to get a college education so much so that she will soon be earning a Master's degree in Taxation.

On a typical day, Jamika Glades wakes up at 6:30 a.m. Her son, Anthony Jennings III, gets ready for school, and Glades takes him to his second-grade classes. Later in the day, they will reunite. They’ll cook and eat dinner. They’ll watch television.

Anthony does homework. So does Glades.

Glades, 23, is a Florida Atlantic track standout working toward a Master’s degree in taxation.
