A Teen Mum

Being a mum at 18 is not an easy task. Especially when you are about to finish secondary school and you are BY YOURSELF. To face this situation at such young age makes a girl feel frustrated and hopeless. The first thing that comes to your mind is that your life has no way out, that you will end up raising a child and depending on someone else. Your goals and dreams have no space in the world a girl imagines for her and her child. These are the thoughts of a novice teen mom. But let me tell you something. It's not that way at all! If you know deep inside what you want for your life and the life of your child there is nothing in this world that can prevent you from making your dreams come true. The difference in this case lies in the fact that you no longer think about YOUR LIFE, but you think about OUR LIFE, in other words, how you will become the life of your dreams in the life that will both dream about. To replace your goals for our goals is now your main objective. . It scares, paralyzes and often discourages, but in the end you will realize it is the most pleasant role a person may have. 
Not only does your life change completely, but it also makes your path go through unthinkable places. You will no longer sleep all night long, which is not a pleasant matter let me tell you. You may spend long hours asleep at night when he/she feels sick or annoyed. You may spend long hours in a hospital because s/he has an illness which is the worst part of it because you cannot bear to see them suffer. What is more, you will switch amusing nights with friends for tiring nights changing diapers, preparing feeding bottles and singing nursery rhymes. You may think that there are no positive sides about being a teen mum. But wait! Don't make rush conclusions. 
The best side of the role comes out when you fix your gaze at him/ her and both come to feel the same love and affection for each other. Your heart beats faster, your hands become more cautious, your eyes more attentive and your face turn into a happy one. Non the less you feel when s/he starts pronouncing his/her first words; their facial expressions transport a mother to a place where anything else exist, where nothing can hurt him/her and where everything is perfect and possible. How rewarding it is to see their growth, the path they choose to follow, the example they decide to take. And let me tell you that it is right there when the word MOTHER gains meaning. You have shaped and determined the life of someone else that is not yourself. You have transformed the life of the human being you love the most. 
To tell you the truth, it is almost impossible to put into words what to be a teen mom is like. Anyway, it is certain that the only way to prove it is to be one. Let me give you a piece of advice first. When you got to the decision of becoming a mother try to be completely sure, to have the necessary resources and the sufficient capacity. Then, go on and experience it. You will know at the end that being a mother is the best role women are able to fulfill throughout her life.
