i remember following my mother down the road on my tricycle, wanting to go where she was going...i remember my last day of daycare before kindergarten, i got a yellow bear carrying a yellow crayon bank, kept it for years, you know. i remember my first taste of freedom, being able to ride my bike around the block, that was a big deal back then! i remember making my first friends in grade school...they were great till they left to attend other schools.
i try to remember the good instead of the bad, but lately the bad is taking the lead. i'm running out of fingers and toes to count the different times i have been taken advantage of. lately my best friend has been my laptop, only thing i can depend on and not disappoint me (only when it gets a virus, then that sucks) i'd love a boyfriend but i don't know if my insecurities of being disappointed will keep me in a healthy relationship.
i see all of these girls that i use to mentor, and a majority of these girls have children! i'm 27, i don't have any children of my own, a college graduate with two degrees, but yet no kids. having a child out of wedlock is not gonna keep your significant other around, it could possibly drive them away. then you have a child, with no type of support from the other parent, and end up on welfare. if there was something i should have said to keep them from having the children they have right now, a lot of these girls would be graduating from college right now.
i vow to try to change one person's life while i'm alive.
