Final thoughts (what do you want the reader to do/remember?)
“No”, is the word I would get a lot from my parents.
I am a person who has overcome many obstacles such as graduating high school, supporting my daughter, and going to college.
I struggled to graduated high school because of being pregnant at a young age.
*financially problems
*teen days over
*becoming a mother
I had to find a job to provide for my daughter.
*working full time
*no time to spend with my daughter
*searching for another job
In order to provide a better future I had to attend college.
*going back to college
*choosing classes
I eventually over come the obstacles that kept me behind from being successful.
I did graduated high school and before attending college I was able to get a job to support my daughter.
I look back now to all the people who told me “No” and smile in content on how I proved them wrong. Even though I had to grow up at an early age and set my teen life apart, and found out what it feels to be a full time mom with a full time job, I am proud of all my accomplishments that I have done. If I ever heard the word “No” again, I’m just going to think back to my experiences and remember that I can achieve anything I want. That “No” is not an option for me, but the motivation to better myself.
