Things Change: Mamma You CAN do it!

So here is a question for everyone out there.

When you were in high school what did you think you'd be doing?

To answer this I will say that I honestly had no clue what I would be doing by now. I had dreams though, first I wanted to be a chef and go to a prestigious culinary school in New York. Then I learned that I wasn't that good at cooking or baking and decided it was probably out of the question.

Next Dream:
In high school I was very passionate about theater but not like the other kids were. I could not act for the life of me, nor was I going to pretend I was. However I was really good at the technical side of theater and I absolutely loved it.  I felt confident and thought it was what I was going to school for when I graduated high school.

However college ruined that dream for me. In college I had to take a acting class, that is not something I excelled at and quiet frankly the teacher was an ass. He would straight up tell you your performance was shit. He also thought he was the best actor there ever was. So why the heck is he working at a college and not on the big stage... oh that's right cause he's only mediocre, (Sorry for the rant)

Basically decided to drop that class and hope I found a new major soon. Maybe I gave up a little to soon but honestly I was starting to go through so much depression that it felt like the only way.

By the end of my first year of college I found out I was pregnant and my life drastically changed. Two months after finding out I was growing a baby in my belly I moved back home and into my aunts house. She had four kids and a dog and lets just say it was a bit to hectic for me. I was able to work with my parents and began renting from them.

Now I am a single mom about to buy my first house. I own my car and work a decent job as a receptionist and more job opportunity on the way. I can't say my life is perfect because it is for sure along way from perfect. But I am happy, my baby is happy and I am still working to be a successful woman.

Please mamma's if your reading this remember that things do get better. Your gonna have to work a little harder for everything but when you achieve what you've dreamed of it will be worth all the struggles and you will appreciate it much more than you would have if you got it the easy way. Don't let one bad situation make your life terrible, if you want something to work then go after it. Don't let anyone tell you, you can't or your not good enough.

I've been turned down plenty of times because people thought i'd be the typical young mother with no responsibility. I knew I could prove them wrong and I did, YOU CAN TO! Never ever ever ever give up.
