I am lying in my boyfriend’s bed. It’s four in the morning in the middle of November and I have the urge to pee. I had been feeling weird all day and I bought a pregnancy test just to see if that was the problem. So here was my chance to find out what was the matter with me. After ten minutes, the two pink lines showed me that there was a human being growing inside of ne. before I tell anyone the news, the question lies I my head,” do I keep this life or do I terminate it?” I walk into the bedroom where my boyfriend, Lawrence, is sleeping peacefully. I wake him up, show him the test, and a smile instantly comes across his face. He had wanted to have a family with me for about four years and now here was his chance. He says to me,” we’ll talk about this in the morning”, turns over and goes back to sleep. As excited as he was, I was still unsure about my pregnancy. If I kept my baby, my life as a teen would have deceased. Being on the go and living life with no worries would no longer exist. My life would revolve around my child first and I second. However, if I had gotten an abortion I would’ve had a heavy guilt on my heart and I wasn’t sure if I could handle it. So on July 12, 2009 I brought a seven pound, six ounce baby girl into this world. For the two months that she’s been here she’s taught me that life has no time for procrastinators. Since my daughter was born I’ve gotten rid of my childish ways. I am completely satisfied with the decision that I made.
