SURVIVING SCHOOL

  I still go to High School and take a pretty heavy course load.  A times it can be rough, and even a little scary.  When I feel like nothing I do is right or find myself wondering why I do it, I look at my daughter and realize that it is no longer my future to plan with, but also hers.

   I have applied for every scholarship that I am remotely eligible for.  Money is the big issue when your a teen mom and trying to go back to school.  I have checked the internet and looked through millions of books, but there just are not any scholarships for young, teen moms. 

   Maybe in a couple of years, when our generation matures, we can give teens more opportunities.  My goal, after law school, is to help teen mothers and pregnant teens with the decisions that they have to face.  The community I live in does not provide much help reguardless of the ever growing population of teen parents who demand help.  Perhaps you live in the same kind of small town where your only help comes from family, friends, and the internet.  Maybe I can help you already, or we can atleast be supportive of each other.
