It was when I was barely 17 that I found out that I was pregnant. My baby's father practically insisted that I have an abortion. This was not an option for me. I did not believe in abortion. I gave birth to a baby girl before I was 18 years old. I am now 22 and my daughter is now almost 5. Life for me has been a constant struggle. From eating popcorn to stay alive, to making diapers out of maxi pads, I have done it all. My child was not what went wrong in my life, but what went right. My daughter actually saved me. Yes, I was smart in school. However, I chose the party life over anything else. You see, without my daughter's birth, I would have continued a life of self-destruction. I have gone to college and have a good job. We still have tough times. However, the bottom line is we made it. I proved everyone wrong. I am not just a statistic, but one that overcame all obstacles. I am a mom!
