Topic: Poverty and Early Parenthood (Read 108 times)

In my own opinion. Early parenthood sometimes doesn't cause poverty. I have many classmates got married at their high school years even few of them got married at grade school days. But what I observed most of them had stable life and some are very rich they have even big business which can possibly  generate Thousands of dollars a year.

Thanks for sharing!  God bless you. 

Hello everyone,I just wanted to share my own story about this matter..Im just an ordinary people who fell in love at a very young age,wherein I got pregnant when Im just on my 2nd year college of studying..Of course,what to be expect in my family was anger and disappointment,because for them I am the key to change the kind of our living because they have a big belief in my ability coz I am always in top 1 during my elementary daya that's why I graduated as a Valedictorian.When they discover that I am pregnant they do not allow me to get out of the house and even seeing the father of my child...They did anything by making sure that we do not see each other that could last for two years.But my husband "now" did everything just to win us back..We secretly talk via phone,and promise each other that we will escape from this situation..We've planned for it and we succeed..My family has nothing to do but to set our marriage..Since I did not finish my college and I am from a Catholic school I cannot go back to school until we are not marrying each other,then we got married with our 2nd baby at my womb.After gaving birth my husband did his best to send me again to school,he worked as a Janitor,a construction worker,an embalmer and any job that could suffice our needs and my schooling too.Then with the God's grace I finished my college degree and I promised myself that when I got a better job,I will send also my husband to college.To make the story short  I got my dream job,he also finished his schooling and graduated at the age of 35,and now we are both working in a same company.Some people inspired to us because of what been through and even my family are very proud to our achievement..Because of our determination and will ,we made it..Now we are happy to tell the world that even we are not rich in terms of money but we are rich by the experience of our own story..Poverty is not a hindrance for those who are determined to change your life and early parenthood is hard for those who stuck on it and accept it without doing anything to change the kind of their living...
