Congratulations!

The thought of being a 22-year-old mother was a task that was bigger then I expected and at the worst time possible. When I found out that I was pregnant I was 21-years-old, a full time college student, working part time and interning. For most college students working and going to school was nothing new, but for me it was. Out of my now five years of college I had never worked while in school until August of 2009, I enjoyed my job until I found out that I was pregnant. Not only was I not used to working and going to school but in January of 2010 I started my 1st internship. My plate was becoming very full and then I found out the news, “congratulations you’re pregnant” is what I was told by my gynecologist. It should have been an exciting moment especially because I love kids and expected to have kids someday, but was I ready for one at that point in my life, I wasn't sure. Being a college student is hard enough but raising a baby while trying to finish school would bring even more challenges. Being a young mother causes you to give up a lot, but was it worth it; I think it was.....
