    “I was only sixteen when I got pregnant. I was so disappointed in myself. I thought I’d end up like one of those pregnant teens on Maury. I did finish high school – I will say that. But afterwards I had no good options. My family didn’t have money. My son’s father..."pic.twitter.com/tWfUkJz9ky

        You should give your parents random hugs, too, right in front of your son. Tell em how grateful you are, right in front of your son. He will get the message. And kudos to you for sticking with it.

        I got pregnant when I was 16. I finished high school, I’m in college studying to be a DOCTOR and i am a MANAGER an orthodontists office. Don’t let the world make you feel like you can’t succeed in life because you didn’t follow their rules and timelines.

        Always worth pushing narratives that negate the idea that single mistakes mean the end. Accept the faults and chart new paths. ❤

        Well done, this wouldn’t have been a possibility without the love and support of your parents. God bless them both. 🌹

        That’s amazing!!!! You did something so difficult but so right in many ways..It sounds like you have a great support system in your parents and your son will realize one day that you made a sacrifice that set y’all up for a great life. Keep pushing 😘🙏🏾
