You would think that being 17 and pregnant is the worst thing possible that could happen to someone, especially while trying to graduate. However, getting pregnant was the best thing that has ever happened to me, yes I had to quit cheerleading, however it changed the person I was. I have become more aware of the person I want to be, the person I want my child to look up to, and be proud of calling mommy. I have realized I don 't want my child to see the scars on my arm, the tears and pain in my eyes. I don 't want to be asked if I 'm okay, and why I am hurting.

When I found out I was pregnant, with the person I know I love and I know I will marry, I knew this would be my new beginning.
My life has changed, and I have become a happier person, a better person at that. I took it upon myself to change, yes for me, but also for my boyfriend and my soon to be child. I realized that even though I have gone through all the tough stuff I have been through, I still deserve to be loved, and I am loved. I have learned that, my past does not define who I am, it does not determine who I become. My past, my past is responsible for making me stronger, making we want to change and not let it become who I am. It has taught me, if you hang on for just a little bit longer that things will turn out to be
