while. His transition from boy to a man happened in that moment. He lied and said his mother was fine but crazy off her medication. In Spanish, he assured his mother that she will be medically treated and not to worry of the financial part. The paramedics helped her off the ambulance.

My future seemed bleak and I felt guilty that Skyler, my son, would have to endure hardships alongside me. My outlook changed when Mrs. Clark, my health teacher, disclosed to the class that she was once a teen parent. Her journey to becoming a teacher inspired me to accept the choices that I’ve made and grow from them. During high school, I constantly reflected on my…
