I am a single mother of One . I was only fifteen when I had my daughter I was in ten grade and I had a boyfriend who was beating on me. When I first told my parents they gave me money for an abortion and most of my family members dissowned me. I decided that I got myself in this situation so I am going to take care of my own mistakes. I continued going to school till I gave birth took some home schooling. My daughter was born in April so by June I had found a job at a grocery store where I worked for two years. In those two years Ive had to get a PFA on my babys father because he tried to hurt me so many different times that I was even affraid to go back to school. This year I have graduated from high school and I am still taking care of my daughter on my own. I am now working full time and still proud of what a smart and beautiful daughter I have and till this day her father has not giving me a dime to take care of her and I refuse to put him on child support I feel if he does not want to support this child then why should I make him support her if he doesn't want to be apart of her life. So till this day Ive made it and I also graduated school even with a child I never quit on any of my dreams.
