He Rowed. He Studied. He Raised a Toddler. At 20.

Did you know nearly 1 in 5 college students today are raising a child while pursuing their degree?

Now imagine doing that while rowing for your college team in freezing Maine mornings and chasing a STEM degree. That’s Levi’s life—and it’s anything but average.

In this emotional and empowering episode of Mental, we meet Levi, a 20-year-old forensic science major at Bates College and a full-time solo dad to his 18-month-old son, Jace. From 4:45 AM alarms to late-night study sessions with a baby monitor in hand, Levi’s story is a living reminder: we're made to do hard things.

Through one pivotal call with his uncle and the unexpected support of his teammates, Levi learns that doing hard things isn't about perfection—it’s about persistence. This story will leave you humbled, hopeful, and maybe even calling someone you love.
