I’m a 14-year-old freshman who had so much planned for life.

I was captain of the cheerleading squad, student president, and also on the student council. Becoming pregnant at 14 was not in my plan. My parents and I have been working on this plan since I was ten years old. I have always gotten straight A’s, aced every test, and also had a job. I was the girl everyone wanted to be. But now, my life has been turned upside down and has thrown something at me I never thought I’d be facing. Teen pregnancy.  I gave up something I love, cheerleading. I’ve been doing it since I was 7 years old.

But I gave it for the new love of my life. My daughter, Ellianna.
