When i was in high school i just want to receive my diploma. I hated school so much that i mainly skipped with friends. At first i thought it was so much fun until it started growing old. My friends started stealing and using drugs. I definitely knew that that was not meant for me. Then i found out i was pregnant. My pregnancy at age fifteen was a huge eye opener.
From my point of view my life had to change for the better. I knew that now I had to focus on my life to make sure that I was going to be a leader and not a follower anymore. After i got pregnant i noticed that my friends had disappeared like magic. They were still skipping school while i was starting to keep my head in the books and focus on my unborn son. It was a hard and over whelming journey to be pregnant and go to school all at the same time but it was something that i had to accomplish. Once my son was born i would finish school and start working to start a new career. Because of my son i didn’t want to end up a being a drop out or just working pay check to pay check. To everyone i was just another teen mom, and yes i might have had my son at a young age but that meant i had to mature quick and be more motivated.
After finally graduating and working a couple of years i decided to go back to school to become someone that would help change others. Someone that was going to be an example to other juveniles so they can better there life with my help. I was going to be a juvenile probation officer. One of my goals is to guide them forward in there future and not so they can just live in there present. I didn’t want to see other teens ruin there whole life ahead due to becoming delinquents or skipping school and becoming young parents like i did. I wanted to use my experience to help young adults make better choices in life. Sometimes teenagers need to communicate with someone other then there parents to feel understood. And sometimes parents of teenagers need someone like a probation officer...
