My life has changed for the better since I had Skyler almost 4 years ago.

I was 16 & pregnant and going through life, making bad choices and making the wrong kind of friends. After I  found out I was having Skyler, I changed my ways for my daughter to make her proud of her mommy. I quit hanging with them, got my life on the right track. I did all my homework, I worked really hard to keep my grades up. I think being pregnant made me work harder to provide for my daughter and change my life for her. I got all highs 80’s and 90’s in high school.

Having Skyler made me believe that just because I’m a mom doesn’t mean I can give up on my own future. I worked to be a better student, a better sister, a better daughter, and a better mother to my daughter, showing her that even though I was pregnant, I still put school/work first then friends. I wanted to make my daughter proud so I fought to stay in school, to have a better education, and so I can teach my daughter. Then I had Dylan 10 months after Skyler, same time. I kept my grades up and never missed any work. I graduated on time with my class. I took a year off to be with my kids and get a job so I can support my children and get what they need like food, diaper, clothes… I never though I would be buying baby diapers at 16 years old instead of buying a prom dress or going drinking with friends. I grow up faster then normal teens, but it made me stronger for Skyler, Dylan, and Baby #3 on the way. I’m working to keep my kids happy and so they can live a happy normal life like I wish I had. I wouldn’t change nothing bout my life…

Now I’m a 20 year old mother of 2 amazing, adorable kids; a girl, boy, and baby on the way, Amazing friends who help me if i need them, and wonderful sisters who helped my during my pregnancy with Skyler and Dylan and taught me everything I know to this day. I would not be the mom I am now without my sisters’ help.

I owe my life to them both for helping with everything.
