Keep Going


The lady gave birth to her third child, it was her first girl, so when she seen her, she couldn't help but to smile. Then all of sudden, the baby stopped breathing… ..the doctors took the baby and the mother began screaming. She was hospitalized for a few months, Then released to go home… …and finally, her life could continue to go on. Both parents took care of her, Then there was just one. Her mother parented three kids, at the age of 21. The baby turned into a child who struggled in school, Was placed in a extra help class.. But she didn't think that was cool. Peers talked about her and often put her down. And her face that once smiled, began to frown. She couldn't understand how this would help in her life, Until she completed 8th grade, and realized how everything worked out right. Freshman year came, And a new story arose. She found out her new family was moving… so they packed up and started on the road. New life, new school, new house, new friends … But now, she‘s a senior in high school… and will soon start the process over again. She will graduate in May and to continue on to college, Receive degrees in Christian counseling and continue expanding her knowledge.
