New mommy

It can be the scariest thing in the world when the doctor says those words that’s change your life forever. It can be even scarier if you are a teenager in high school. Ask anyone and they will tell you having a baby when you’re a teen will ruin your life. Well I disagree. Yes, a baby will change your life and your dreams will change but to say it will ruin your life is wrong. When I found out I was pregnant a lot of people were disappointed in me. More than disappointed, they were mad. They said my life was over and that I would never get to have fun again.

I was living with my aunt and my grandma came to pick me up for school every morning before she went to work. When I told her I was pregnant, she was livid. She said my life was over and that I’m not going to be able to do it. She thinks I’m going to stop going to school and just ruin my life completely. She will no longer take me to school. Which does not make sense to me because if she doesn’t want me to ruin my life, why would she stop taking me to school and make it that much harder for me to graduate?

My opinion:

They’re all wrong. I‘m not saying it will be easy because I know it will be the hardest thing I have ever done, but I know I can handle it.

So, my old goals:

1.       Get and keep a job

2.       Graduate and go to college

3.       Get a college degree in Child Psychology

4.       Have enough money to live comfortably

My new goals:

1.       Prove my grandma and anyone who agrees with her wrong!

2.       Do everything I planned to do with my life even if it takes longer than I expected.

3.       Never let my baby go without.

4.       Raise my child better than I was raised.

5.       Make sure my child is successful in life.

My life has changed completely but it's absolutely not over.
