I wasn’t able to be a regular 19 year old. I never got to experience what it was like to be totally carefree, with no one depending on me.

Each girl that was interviewed was pregnant, and every one of those girls had different opinions as to how they responded to the act and or thought of abortion. Barbara was one of the girls that were being interviewed in this documentary. In the documentary, she was a 17 year old mother with a 2 year old son.

I suffered some serious health issues that kept me off work for a while and ultimately led to the loss of a job. Vivian had graduated high school and wanted to start college in Texas as well. Elizabeth and Joe made the ultimate sacrifice and opened their home to us until I could get back on my feet. Now we were on our way home and to meet our beautiful Emily Jane. We had skyped before, so we had seen her over the computer, but now in just a very short amount of time, we would finally be seeing and holding her at last!
Unfortunately, as life would have it after she graduated high school with a 4.0 gpa she quickly learned that it was all in vain, she was not able to attend a university because of her citizen status.

Mandi is the one person that I hope is always there for me, because your sister is always going to be there to pick you up when you have fallen. I admire my mother, not because she is my mom but because she is the only person I know that will be completely honest with me. I have had many significant events happen to me in my life but only two have completely affected me as I come of age, One of those significant event that has helped shape who I am not only today but for the future of myself, happened in October of 2011 when I moved from Kansas to Menard, Texas in the middle of my seventh grade year just a couple days after my first nephew Greyson was born, the big move from Kansas to Texas had changed everything for me.
