Maria Tinoco November 5, 2013 1st period As I was growing up, I thought I would have a perfect life. My dream was to finish high school without having any problems but that dream seemed to come crashing down when I knew I was going to have a child. I was only 16. Even though my world turned upside down in that moment, my mind was still positive and willing to overcome my problem telling my mom was the hardest because she gave us everything even though we didn’t have a dad. Lucky for me my family was supportive. My mom was very upset and disappointed because I was very young, but she supported me. She knew what it was like and how hard it was to raise four children without having my father's support however in this case my baby actually had a father who was there for me all the time and he still is. My mom told me i had to take responsibilities for myself and the baby and to drop out of high school. That's exactly what am doing right know! My baby is almost two years old and i am in my senior year of high school doing my best.
