I would like to start by saying thank you for dropping by. A little about my choice for this blog and a bit about who I am will be the topic for today.
I was a teen mom. I got pregnant with my daughter (who is now 12) when I was 16. I never intended to get pregnant so young, but some choices come with lifetime consequences. However, I do not regret the decision to keep my daughter. Most of the people around me and others at school thought that I would just end up a statistic, a single teen mom drop out. I however was not going to stand for that. I realized the decision I had made and knew that some how, some way I would get the strength to get through this. The reason for this blog is to show teen girls that even though they may be in the same shoes I was, does not mean it is the end of the world. You have choices and no one can tell you what is best for you. Please understand that I am not saying it is okay to get pregnant so young, I just want girls to know that there are others who have been in their shoes and have made it out just fine.
I did make it through and I am a very proud mother of my 12 year old honer student. I now have 3 children total and am very happily married. I will turn 30 next month and I guess I am okay with that... I lost my job a year and a half ago and now am a stay at home mom. Things do not always turn out the way you had wished them to be, but you can be strong enough to get through it.
