Life has many challenges and opportunities. My challenges began when I realized I was pregnant. It made me realize how important it was for me to give my son a good future.
The most important thing in my mind was to finish high school. I was 15 years old when I got pregnant and I was in my sophomore year. Every day I gave my best to succeed in school. I did all my homework and classwork. My teachers were there when I needed them, if it was school related or personal things I wanted to share, they always listened and gave me advice. They always made everything seem easy; with effort everything can be possible. My English teacher always told me “A teen mom is capable of doing much more than the average girl in life, because they have a beautiful reason”. But I thought high school wasn’t enough to give my son the future he deserved. Many things came to my mind, like what was I going to do after I graduated, was I going to college or getting a job, I didn’t know.
When my son was born, everything was so hard. I was tired all the time; I had to be up when he would cry in the middle of the night to feed him. Change diapers, when he was wet or it was dirty. I had to be with him when my husband was working or when he was awake because he couldn’t be left alone. Instead of taking naps I would clean, do homework, cook, or other things, but I would never get the rest I needed. Sometimes i didn’t even have time to do my homework so I did when my husband got home from work around 11 at night. Every morning I would wake up to go to school, with no sleep or sleep, but I knew I had to in order to succeed. It was really difficult to do all of those things. It still is difficult because now I work and it takes most of my time to be able to be with him, but life is just based on sacrifices you have to make day by day.
I finally decided I was going to college. At first I thought I couldn’t go to college because I had a baby and a husband, and that my life would be dedicated to them. My friends and family always support me, and help me; they give me advice of what is best for me and how college can help me and my family in many ways. I want to go to college and be a nurse. I want to show everybody that a teen mom can go to college, have a job, and be a mom, a wife and many more things. Being a teen mom has helped me mature a lot, in the way I see life differently, how every morning I see him and he just gives me strength to keep going. My son is the reason why I want to go to college and have a good future ahead of me.
I also want to go to college to have a decent job, earn a fair income of money and have the opportunity to do what I love to do. I want my son to be able to look at me as his role model one day. I want my son to see everything I have accomplished because of him. My son is everything to me. And everything I have done in life so far will come in handy one day.
Well that’s how my life has been and is so far. With the help and support of my husband and family I will accomplish everything I set my self to do. It hasn’t been easy but I manage to do what I can. To be a responsible parent has always been in my mind. I see the future as a better way of living for my son. And I want to make it happen.
