my kids and parenting

[melvina c grace]

Its a real job to be a parent. Although i was a 16yr old girl with a son in school and try my hardest to finish school. Then as all navie and stuff i ended up having another child. Things wete not easy cause i had to find my place in the world. Then i just felt to not finish school cause of me not having any sitters or good support. So i moved back to my mom and step fathets house where my support and things happened. Although i did finish highschool at the age of 18. And made my way into college. I backed down from college and just did work. I had 2jobs so icould support my kids. It was rough and i did my dues.

So i'll end my story to say to the young girls out there. If you can just read my story and say to urself. Man i should wait til i am finished with high school then go to college and a degree. I want myself to become indenpendent to myself other than some man to control or hurt or even do worse towards me. I really would like blessful futures to happen to this young souls out there. Its just to short for this life of the new. God blessed and be well!!!!

Hard life, but it happened and you dealt with it in the best way you could - good job for being responsible for your kids at a time when you could have just ignored their existence and carried on acting like any other teenager. I bet you really could be a great impact on other young girls in tough situations - you've lived through it and are relatable, something of comfort and security to them.
