How College Student Takes Care of 5 Younger Siblings

- After losing both parents, Samantha Rodriguez had to step up and become the head of the family. Now the 21-year-old balances college and raising her five younger siblings. “I've always had a motherly instinct with them,” she told InsideEdition.com, but “I just had to play both roles and step up even bigger.” Despite the hardship, the siblings all work together. “We're all just so connected between love and strength and we all have each other's back,” said her brother, Michael. #InsideEdition
Her boyfriend is a real one, spending time with her brother when she can't bond the same as a male would with him, keep that man girl and keep doing what your doing, you're amazing.
@Rk0788 k was about to say that thank u
@Rk0788 k you probably want to get in her pants
@Rk0788 k What makes you think he is the typical guy?
@Rk0788 k how is she not attractive. She is everything you could ask for in a woman. She is just too much woman for you. Maybe you're the one that's gay.
Thought the same. Notice they have the same shoes at the end. Glad he's got someone.
I hope your boyfriend realizes what an amazing woman he's got.
Ikr 🥺
Fr🥺🥺
Hope his parents adore her
Aw that would be cute
@Levi Ulysses yeah
College, a job, raising five kids, AND managing a relationship with a great guy? How? What? I can't even find a job!
Good luck finding one!

Never give up, keep going to be able to secure a better position.
Lost my parents 2010...took care of my siblings..2020 10 years later finally got a chance to go to university...I'm the eldest in class .. but I'm grateful to God for trusting me with this journey
Congratulations on getting your degree in advance ❤️🥰
@@shenise1294 thank u so much
Never be ashamed to start late in getting your education. You can do it!
I’m so proud of you. Like so proud. Everyone in the comments sharing their journeys. Some of us cannot relate & it’s just so admirable
U did it they'd be so proud
*She can take care of 5 siblings, while in college?!? I can’t even make lunchable right...*
I can barely flip an egg.
LMAO that's funny
Bruh I've seen you comment in so many other channels.

@@TheBrickGuy7939 same dude
This woman needs a medal and NEEDS to be on the Ellen show, she has done so much for her siblings. Best wishes!
She deserves to be at the ellen show
Honestly, it's kind of irresponsible, she could've reached out to a relative for help
Turkey Brisket how is it irresponsible???????
@@justagirlfromphoenix7105 read after the second comma
@@somethingiwillremember1239 Irresponsible would be if she's incapable of taking care of them on her own, refuses any help from relatives and the kids suffering because of it. But obviously she's been doing this for 4 years and they're all happy and she seems fully capable. Better that she sacrifices a little instead of splitting up the family. She's a hero. Just because you can't take care of yourself doesn't mean she can't take care of her siblings.
I’m 17 and I care for my 2 nieces full time I couldn’t imagine caring for 5! She’s so strong!!
i'd be interested in hearing more about your situation if you don't mind sharing... (i'm an Auntie myself and have just recently become the God-mama to my nieces).
Bless you very big heart, I wish you all the best!!
GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🙏🙏
one big salute for you❤❤❤❤❤
She’s amazing child.
She needs an all expenses paid ride throughout college. She deserves it. I know she’s their sister, but she had to grow up fast and she seems to do an amazing job keeping herself and everyone together. She’s going to have to do everything that their parents would have had to do when her siblings get older, too. They’re a beautiful family and I wish them nothing but the best. ♥️
This girl is a strong woman, i cannot imagine losing both my parents.
@@arcadia2046 being latino has nothing to do with it she was raised right by two loving parents that is what has enabled her to do what she is doing. Saying that it's because she is a latino woman is racist and not called for. She is a amazing young lady with good morals it actually brings a tear of happiness her love for her brother and sisters is strong a bond that nothing can destroy. God Bless you young lady your parents would be and is so proud of you.
Little Egypt Adventures she was just pointing out that she was Latina dumbass. She wasn’t trying to be racist
@@Alfreeod Pointing out that she's Latina is redundant. Women of every color trying to take care of business is awesome.
Identity is pointless to promote here, it's the character and strength of the person is what is to be admired.
@@arcadia2046 How eloquent of you.
xUzi786 can u imagine being put in a position of a single parent of 5 kids when ur supposed to be experiencing independence as a young adult. She litterally gave up her whole adolescence n it’s sad
2:37 my heart broke a little when she said she was embarrassed to be the eldest in her graduating high school class. She has no reason to be embarrassed. She and her siblings went through the loss of both parents and still, alongside raising them, she went back to high school and got her diploma. Doesn’t matter that it took her longer. She did that and she should be proud of herself
2:30
Danielle YES YES SO RIGT
Hey, i mean she could've given up on school! But she pushed through
Its even great to graduate with all of this
So true.
This girl is CRAZY strong. Everyone should donate to a go fund me to buy them a new, larger home and pay for their educations. It can’t bring back their parents but we could at least give them some financial stability. Money is the last thing they need to be worrying about.
Wow...she is not only raising five siblings, but she is a caretaker for her elderly grandmother! This should have been pointed out. That's a big job, too. She is amazing. Glad she has found a good guy and I hope it works out with him.
Her parents may no longer be here but they definitely raised their kids right while they were here...she has done amazing stepping in and props to her boyfriend too🥺
definitely her boyfriend most guys wouldn’t help with that many kids maybe even 1 alone when your that young
Arcadia :/ does it make it different if shes Latina
@@united8586
Exactly, because they have sense
Arcadia :/ just a strong person will do.
Don’t play race or gender
It will happen to young to old person it can happen to us one of these days like in families or someone
I love how she said “the kids” not my siblings or brothers and sisters. So sweet!
She is already in mother mood
Cetribea Burundibwiza so true
Grace Thompson k
devilish ! That’s a bit to far
Rk0788 k Nobodu mentioned anything political except you. So immature and childish.
Man seeing this makes me realize that I must simply be lazy, she makes me want to do better..amazing young woman.
Let’s all say it together: Cancer sucks! Sending love and prayers to this family. ❤️
Cancer does suck. I lost my husband to cancer and my friend to cancer. I hate cancer. God bless this strong loving young lady.
Oh thank God they’ve got gramma too. That’s awesome.
Yes. We lost our Grandma to cancer. Unfortunately both me and my brother never got to meet her.
Ellen should’ve given her a check instead of giving it to Bill Gates
Facts!
They would have received that check if any of those beautiful kids was transgender, gay, lesbian or whatever from the gay alphabet!
FACTS!! IKR

Idk about Pride and Ellen
But what does Pride have to do with getting a cheque
You don't need to be LGBTQ+ just for a cheque
Thats messed up lmao
YES!
She needs a go fund me page. They deserve and need.
She already have one ;) !!! .
And a TH-cam channel

@@rokanaakbanaduak6395 What is the name of the Yt channel ???
If y’all forgot but inside addition already kind of exposed go fund me because it they were just getting money for random causes that was not even a card on their page so people not might donate because of that
Her parents did a marvellous job raising this incredible young woman they must be very proud of her and her siblings.
"I just know in my heart when it's time to be 'mom' and when it's time to be 'a sister'", what a beautiful moral compass. Amazing family, raised so incredibly....
The boyfriend is a real one. He is really there for their family and taking the younger boy to do male things, just wow. I’m impressed. R.I.P to the mom and dad. Congrats to the big sis and #girlpower . 😕🖤
miaelizabeth Lmaooo😂
That’s kind and it made me happy sad
Jinal & Vanshi There's no such thing as a "male thing". A person just likes what they like. Sex and gender have nothing to do with what a person likes.
@storytime with tea
Can we not make this about the gender argument please? Jesus Christ. Has nothing to do with this lovely story
it took be 5 tries to like this bc i kept clicking on the hashtag😭
This girl is a hero, so nurturing beyond her age
Kelsey Ananas r u for real
Kelsey Ananas like you have 3 subs and I have 300
She's amazing but she ain't raising them on her own... Grandma is there. So abit misleading.

peachy yep
peachy It amazing how she manage to take care of them .Her parents would be so proud of her.❤️👏
1:57 fortnite on the screen lol
I know right
The fact that she actually acts like parents instead of a college student
Beautiful story! She dies better raising her siblings then most parents raising their children. Very strong young girl and job well done.God bless you all abundantly!!!
These poor kids. Their parents taught them so well... Rest In Peace😔
Agreed
This girl parents 5, works, goes to college, and handles a relationship, I’m barley passing freshman year
Step it up baby, you can do it! Just apply yourself and thank God that it's so easy for you. Being grateful helps any situation, it can turn a negative thing inside out into a positive thing
FearlessBot_ I’m barely going to school
FearlessBot_ I feel you
"I know in my heart when it's time to be mom and when it's time to be sister." She leads from the heart 🥺
She is a true GEM! Their parents would be so proud of them!
She’s a beautiful girl inside and out.. I believe her boyfriend is a good person too, otherwise men don’t like to put up with these kinds of situations you know..
Her boyfriend probably sees how Mature and Nurturing she is
@@oneskillpoint4669 for all intents and purposes, she's their full time parent. Both mom and dad to them. Props to her bf...he's gotta be a special guy. This girl is so grounded, that her choosing to be with him in the first place tells a lot. ☺
@@oneskillpoint4669 i don't see the difference as far as how much time she has to allocate, it's kind of...more. but it's cool and thank you for the nice reply. 😁
@Rk0788 k finding something to complain about I bet
When shes a real mother i bet shes going to be THE BEST 🥺
I thought that too .AMAZING
And I thought i wonder if shell want kids after all that but im thinking she will and ill bet if its a girl she'll name her after her mother and a boy after her Dad GOD BLESS HER AND HER BF IN ALL THAT THEY DO I can tell they have strong faith in God and I know God's got her for life AMEN 🙏 💘 😻 💜
I know what you mean and agree,, but also she is already a real mother.
I'm literally crying watching this it remind me of my self as an eldest brother to my younger siblings. Without my parents around. God bless you and you siblings. Hope someday all your dreams will come true.
Imagine managing finances for 5 kids and yourself at age 21 🤯. That would be difficult for anyone let alone such a young adult.
renee griffin I didn’t mean actually making/getting the money. I meant planning, budgeting, etc.
Right it’s difficult for me, I’m almost 30 with only one kid! I applaud this beautiful young lady
And they have gotten almost $200,000 on her GoFundMe page which is awesome
She is a strong woman
It's not difficult if she put GOD first.
Her mother would be so proud cause she's watching them from above
amen
Amen
Amen
And the father, amen. 🙏🏽
Where above ?
WOW !!! She is strong and good role model to her siblings. Wishing all the best to her family. May every good things come your way.
Samantha is a blessing to her siblings, I'm sure her parents would be proud. But I didn't miss the part, she is also taking care of her elderly grandmother. ❤️
Why would anyone dislike this?
They dont no the struggles and obstacles smh.
Ajin is Underrated that’s obviously a lolly-pop tho
Know*
Well probably they were crying so they couldnt see the like button
TH-cam gives every video dislikes but some people actually disliked this
Because they did not have a good older sister like this wonderful girl....
Ooh man, she deserves a lot....she deserves everything best in life and her siblings too..God bless you.
Ziption Rose perfect she deserves more than that scam kid they made a video about yesterday
My mom was 14 years when she started looking after her sibling 5 sibling her mom died when she bought the last baby she has past out❤❤😥😥im so proud of my mom ❤❤❤❤
Wow, I am so amazed by her raising her siblings by herself and stand strong for her family. God bless this family and watching over them.
Shes such a strong women to endure the pain of losing both her parents and still being able to take care of her siblings and Grandmother, she really deserves an award for her genuine kindhearted spirit.

She's an incredible young lady and the rock and heart of that family mad respect
I lost both parents and we had to raise my little sister but there is so much love and respect in this family and I think it has a lot to do with Samantha’s maturity and strength. She is the rock in this loving family.
Their parents must look down on her with so much pride. She is so INCREDIBLE.
Yes, and she got two more but arguments going for her if you catch my drift :)
No look up they in hell as they christan
Ellen should put her in her show, she’s working a lot for her sibling and deserves more. ❤️

My first thought as I start watching this video.
Cool Beans she was already on the show
Ellen won't do anything for them what's the point
Vsk
What does her being lesbian have to do with this
This is a really meaningful sad story. I literally started crying
We need Woman like her in the whole World God bless her.
She’s a great mother, period.

She is so amazing. Those kids could all be separated and she has done everything to keep them all together, and she is an amazing parent to them prayers to them all.
This courageous woman is not only filling the role of one parent but two!! What an amazing example she has set for the rest of her siblings, raising them in a happy, nontoxic, mature, environment. Working, going to school, and raising 5 “kids”, she is really is unbelievably tenacious. Literally providing everything for them.. She’s super woman!
She’s is a queen. Her mom would be so happy 😭💞💞
Yes
And her dad but yes
The boyfriend bonding with the brother is so amazing such a kind loving gentleman when they were walking they had red shoes and red sweaters matching that made my heart happy ....the older sister is so strong ...bless their hearts
I saw that too. It's so sweet. I'm glad she has one that stepped in to help her and to show the only boy how to treat women. Without realizing it. He's showing him by his actions of being there.
SHE'S A QUEEN! I HOPE HER THE BEST IN LIFE! 💅👑✨
She is so strong, and I am so proud of her. Like she is so mature and I’m so glad her siblings have her as a sister and a parental figure!!!
I bett ur mom would so proud of u if she was there 😭😭
If her mom was there she wouldn't be doing all that think about it
tito yama they’re saying that just because her mom would be proud if she saw what she was doing for her family.
Teamvrox she is there 😍
...and the dad. 😭
it's lucky that she was old enough to ask for custody of her siblings when their parents died.. it would have been much worse had they been separated in the foster care system
They were wonderful parents to raise such a strong family, such a strong daughter. A leader! Wow! God bless her and the rest of the family!
What a fabulous young lady she is! In this time when we see parents not taking care of…and even harming…their own children, she is a shining example of what family is meant to be!! God bless her!!
and she looks like she’s stress free. i stand this queen
Nahh even though she looks stress free i doubt it.. Someone that gotta look after someone else aint stress free she look like she stressing but she hiding it in a good way but she type look sad.
Latifah Napoleon yea i agree. she’s holding it together pretty well too
This girl needs an award for everything she has done and losing both of you’re parents, she is amazing!!! ❤️
her parents would be so proud
i know it.
How could this video get even one thumbs down?
She stepped up to take care of her younger siblings when
they could of been separated and put into foster care.
She is an inspiration .
As a parent, I would be honor to have a daughterl like this lady. So mature and responsible beyond her years.May God shower them with blessings.
She's a great big sister to her young siblings after her parents passed away but she did not give her family up and work hard to keep family together. Even her boyfriend steps up to help her and her family which is great. Her parents would proud of her...😭❤️
This girl is so amazing, she dealt with so much, and she’s still so happy. Bless her and her family.
The fact that this young woman knew and was aware that she didn’t have to be financially or emotionally responsible for her siblings and how easily she could’ve walked away or let them be raised by a relative or a foster home yet this girl chose to stay out of love and compassion for them

We can't help everyone but everyone can help someone. U do not need to be rich to help someone. It can be as little as $10-20 worth of grocery, a bed sheet, etc...

Most importantly she made sure they didn't end up in human traffacking AKA CPS
Yeah me that what I thought hope there king people out here to help them
She can care for 5 siblings while in college!? I don’t even know how to make a pop tart

I can’t even believe how strong she would have to be to do that. I lost my dad to cancer when I was very young and my family broke after that, so the fact that they all stayed together is amazing. I truly love this story and admire their stangth.
She’s amazing, she’s the mother of the family now so she’s got a big responsibility, she’s amazing 🤩😂👍👌
Other college students: *can't take care of themself*
So true
Yes agree with you
Her parents raised her right! Now she is raising her siblings the right way!
I'm a college freshman. If my mom were to pass, I honestly don't know what I would do. Like, my mom has 10 kids, the youngest is almost 2 and has slight oxygen problems. There'd literally be no way for me to make enough money to provide for them, especially now.
When she has her own kids shes gonna be a great mom and she'll have 5 great supporters
dpgshan if she wants to after all that
Moral of the story, before becoming a parent always first build a house for them, Imagine if her parents had died when they were still renting!!
Those siblings should never forget her sacrifice ❤️
This is an incredible woman, I could not imagine losing my parents at such a young age. I will think of this family and I wish the best for them.
yes
