For most of my life, I didn’t think that I would be a parent this early. I had lived my life to the fullest during my no-son-responsibility years. I was only seventeen when I found out that I am pregnant. My boyfriend and I don’t know what to do. We are not married and we knew that we would not build a life as a family.
From the moment that my son was born, I told myself that whatever happens I have to prioritize my son. So now, I have to decide not only for myself but also for my son’s future. What I have decided before I became a mom doesn’t suit me now.
I am not perfect, I admit. I will make mistakes sooner or later.
Being a single mom like me, raising my kid is very challenging yet enjoyable. I have to work hard and at the same time study college because I am only nineteen. But working and studying doesn’t hinder me to effectively parent Elijah. Being single, It doesn’t stop me to think that I can be a wonder mom to my kid. Even though I am still dependent financially to my mom, this doesn’t mean that I cannot do it all by myself. But it is not always easy, I always end up crying and frustrated at times.
I have to decide what to change. What will benefit my son the most. I have to think for his future before thinking of myself. I know someday, when these changes take it’s place no matter how hard the challenges are, I will say to myself that have achieved my goals for my son and myself. That these changes I set are all worth it.
Elijah, is the best thing that has ever happened to my life.

Hi this is my first time to visit your blog. I think when it comes to single parenting/single mother you should be proud because I know it is difficult to raise a baby alone. Just continue studying until you can able to stand all by yourself. By the way what happen to your BF. You did not mention something about him. Safari Animals in EDSA
