All my life I've had to be the adult and had to take care of things... It is so hard trying to do what everyone expects and what I have to do. I have to have a full time job so I can have insurance and yet im also supposed to go to school so I can have a "big girl" job some day. There just aren't enough hours in a day and I can't do it all. It makes me feel horrible about myself. I feel like if a teen mom can raise a child,  go to school and have a job, then why can't I have a job and go to school? I feel like a failure. But I do what I can and hopefully sooner than later everything will work out and I'll be able to do it all. Hopefully I'll be able to balance everything and be happy.

Starting Block

Every since I was a little girl I've known what I don't want. Whether it be a Christmas present I didn't want or something in life. I have always known what I want out of life; a strong, stable, loving relationship, few financial struggles and a healthy, happy life. Each and everyday I work toward showing everyone and everything that says I can't and thinks I shouldn't, that I can and that I will!

Through all my struggles growing up with seperated teen parents, I have learned that I can only change and do so much, and that my decisions can and do effect others.
