What happened to me
There is nothing like experiencing a bad feeling when you first get up from a rough night.
I went to my first day of high school knowing my life was perfect, until I was feeling really sick. I thought it was just nerves but then I remembered I had not started my
period yet. I check to see if I was pregnant and sure enough it was positive.
Pregnant, alone and scared at 15-years-old. I had to do what was best for me at the
time, which was staying with my ex. I thought I was going to live a fairy tale with him but it didn’t last long.
I moved on with my life and had to struggle with two jobs, in addition to going back to school part-time. Even though it was hard on me I still managed to survive it.
By 18, I graduated from high school and then continued with community college. I reached my goals but felt it was never enough for me. A year later, I started to feel like I was depressed.
Now, remember, I had no friends, family and was alone. I had the puzzles all laid out but not put back together yet. I ended up moving to Canada with my son and started over again. A year later, I met my husband and had a baby with him. We bought a house and car and everything else that we can possibly have. But for some reason I started to feel like I wanted more with my life.
For the first time in my life that was something I always dreamt for. Eight months later I published a children’s book and continued with it. It is not a story about my life but is something I did and am proud of it.
What I am trying to say to every young or single mothers out there. Always have high hopes for yourself because there is an angel over you at all times.
What I learned
What I've learnt is that being a parent is not easy and I do not wish I could take it back but it taught me a really good lesson.
What I wish I'd known then
I do not wish anything. I do not regret having my son but I wish I could of waited.
