I couldn't explain in words how happy but scared I was not only because of what my family or boyfriend would say but how much it would change my life. It has changed my life, I do things more for myself now whether it is just being or healthy or just knowing what I should and shouldn't be doing. it has changed my point of view in a lot and honestly if I had the chance to go back and made sure it did not happen I wouldn't because it has made me a better person to myself. Now I'm more used to knowing that I am pregnant and I get happy every time I think about it.

It was pretty late out so when we heard a knock on the door we were all kind of confused on who it would be. My dad went to go see who it was and when he opened the door it was a drunk man that was yelling him accusing him of something that none of us knew what he was talking about and when my dad didn't want to let him in he went to our window and broke it open with a deer bottle and rocks. Now every time I hear someone outside or knowing really late at night I get scared because I never know who it is so I let anyone else open the door.

Everyone in the family knew that it was going to happen eventually because of all the fighting that would go on almost everyday. It affected me my birthday was going pretty okay for the first time with my whole family and a lot of my friends at my house helping me celebrate my birthday but then the night ended with my mom and dad fighting again and finally ending everything. Now whenever its my birthday I never want to celebrate it because all I think about that day was how my parents separated.

It was sor of a big thing for myself because I learned how to be more responsible with my money. Also because about half of the money I made went to helping my parents pay off bills and rent so by doing that I slowly learned how things work with billing and renting. When I started working I started to depend on my self and not anyone else. I stopped asking my parents for everything and I only worry about whats more important that I need rather than what I want.

My mom and dad would always be at work in order to be able to pay for everything so they would leave me in charge to take care of my baby brother. It was always so much work because I wouldn't get all the sleep that I needed to get and wouldn't be able to go out as much as I wanted to. It showed me how much responsibility a baby really is and how to take care of them. At first I thought that it was unfair that I was the one that had to always be the responsible one even though I had 2 older siblings but now I reallly think that it helped me in a bit of what I need in my future.

The distance from the two places were not far from each other at all but it reallymade my life change. When I was in glen ellyn I would do so good in everything. I had a lot of really nice friends and never got into anything or any problems with anyone and would always do what I was supposed to for school. As soon as I moved to wheaton I met a lot of new people and some people that had already not liked me as soon as I got to my new school even though they did not know me. I got into trouble at school and I would be surrounded by so many bad influences. It was a rough couple of years

He seemed really nice ad as we got to know each other more and more I started to like him and then he had end up asking me out.  We lasted through my freshman and sophomore years. Throughout those years all my friends kept telling me to leave him because he would always make me feel so bad about myself and make me feel like I wasn't good enough. He cheated on me and make me feel like it was my fault even though I was the most faithful and loyal to him. Even though he made me feel terrible about myself he also made me feel like no other guy ever could. He made me happy but because of him I could let anyone else in. I pushed everything away because of him and he taught me not to trust anyone and he made me feel like every guy would treat me so poorly. I hated it but I couldn't leave. He was a huge part of my life even though it was so negative. ]]> 2016-10-23 20:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/s075878/sxt12rgw3naq/wish/132565029 s075878 https://padlet.com/s075878/sxt12rgw3naq/wish/132580110 I had met Jose my freshman year but never really got close till the summer before my junior year. He was the first person since Irvin that I was able to actually talk to about all my problems, he would always talk to me and make sure I was okay. Everytime something went down in my house he was always there to take me away from it all. Throughout the whole summer we would talk every night and we would hang out all the time. As time went by I started developing feelings for him and I told him but it wasn't till a week later that he told me he also had feelings for me he was just to scared to tell me. On september 4 2015 he came to my house and asked me to be his girlfriend and I'm so happy he did because since then hes made me so happy and I feel like I'm not alone anymore. Now we created a little person that's going to have a mother and father that loves it so much. He's changed my life in so many ways and made me realize what it really is to be happy.

It was a big deal because they always were the ones that would take care of me and my older sister everyday while my parents were at work. They would always take us everywhere and it changed everything when they left and I couldn't see them all the time anymore. It was huge for me not having them around and I didn't want to go anymore for a few months after they left because because I was not used to going out without them.
