Pregnant Help

Description

When I first met—I'll call her "R"—she was a student in my junior English class. She had high aspirations of becoming a doctor and worked really hard in her academics to be successful. At her school, this in itself made her stand out from her peers; but that wasn't all. R was pregnant with a baby fathered by another student in the class. She came from a very traditional family and so she knew in their eyes keeping the baby was her only option. She carried the baby to term and then the father dropped out. R received homebound tutoring to stay caught up with her classes. She eventually broke up with the father of the baby and I discovered that during her senior year she was pregnant once again. I was worried about her, but her drive to succeed certainly kept her striving toward her goal. She certainly missed out on a lot of the "typical" high school experiences, but she was still able to graduate and got into a college. True, her high school experience was a little different from most of her peers, but because she was able to stay focused on her goal, I'm sure she'll accomplish it one day.
