I suppose I should tell a little bit about myself and the story! I will be 19 on August 15th 2002. I live in Kentucky at the present time and I attend school at the local college where I am studying to be a hospital admissions clerk. I thought I had my whole life planned out until last October when I found out that I was going to be a Mother. It was really scary at first but I'm getting through it. I am a single mother as of July 5, 2002 when I found out that my baby's father had been cheating on me for a long time. I know now that my once organized life has dramatically changed and there is no way I could plan anything else because you never know what is going to happen. I do know, however, that I will be the best mother to my son that I can be. From what I have learned growing up, I plan to give my son much more. I used to just want to be accepted, but now things are different. If someone can't accept my son then they cannot accept me as a friend or anything. This goes for everything out there that may count. I would advise others to make sure you are ready to be a parent and that you can handle a child before you take this step in life. Its a really hard road to travel if you are still young and in school. I'm not saying that it can't be done, it just makes things more of a challenge. I am lucky to have the support that I have from my family and friends, but its no picnic b/c I have also lost some friends because of this. I guess they never really were friends though. My true friends have stuck by me through all of this. Well anyway, this is me, if you don't like me I don't care LOL!!! |
