In this essay you will read about an event that happened in the year 2007. This was the event that had changed my life forever and for the better. I found out I was pregnant when I was in my second year in college. This event completely changed the outlook on how I look at life and I believed my life was over, I thought it was a very unacceptable thing for me. However little did I know that the life I was living had me headed down the wrong path, I realized that having a baby was the most excellent thing that had ever happened to me in my life. You will also read about how scared I was to take own another life and how I questioned if I should really take on the responsibility of another person’s life, and if I was ready.
I had many friends beside me to support me during my journey of my pregnancy. I had two very close friends right by my side through thick and thin. My mother, farther, and sister were also around to me emotionally and physically. They gave me confidence in myself by telling me that everything was going to work out fine. I was living by myself in Louisiana in school trying to earn a nursing degree, once I discovered I was pregnant I dropped out of school and I moved to Arkansas with my parents when I became emotionally depressed. I never wanted to get out of the house; I just slept all day long even though I was in a new city where no one knew who I was. On August 20, 2008 my son was born and I never knew you could love someone so much the way I loved him the first time that I saw and held him in my arms.
The hardest part of being pregnant was going through all the stages of pregnancy. During my first trimester I was always sick and had a hard time tasting different foods. Even certain smells of food turned my stomach in ways that couldn’t really be explained. Although when I walked into a room with the smell of noodles cooking I instantly became very ill. Dairy
