Narrative Essay
I never knew I’d be where I am today in life. Over the last three years my life was going down hill. I use to be an outrage teen with no morals or standards for myself. I didn’t know where my life was heading. Once I knew I was going to have another child I knew I had to make some changes. It was a hard process but I’m the person I am today because of my children.
Even though I had one daughter already I still didn’t have my life together the way that it should’ve been. I had no job, I had dropped out of cosmetology school, moved to Pittsburgh with my sister and just didn’t know where I was heading. I just thought life was this little game even though I knew my play time was over since I have a child of my own.
After a month of living with my sister in Pittsburgh, I found out I was pregnant with my second child. The day I found out I was in disbelief I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was in denial for a couple months and then I came to realization that I was about to have another living child enter this world. I had giving up on everything that I had good going for myself. I had nothing. I didn’t know what to do. I knew something had to change. One day I was sitting in the park with my daughter and just looking at all these other teen moms who seemed like they were in the same situation as me but a little older. I start thinking to myself that I knew I didn’t want to be like them in a couple years I had to get myself together, not only for my daughter but for myself. It was going to be a hard process because I was out in the world on my own since I had moved away from my mom and my sister was just as messed as I was. Over the next couple days I kept thinking about how I was going to get myself back to the old April that everyone loved and seen potential in. I knew I couldn’t do this on my own so I had to move closer to my mom again.
Around the end of the summer of 2012, I moved back to Johnstown next door to my mom. One day we were sitting on the couch watching television and she had asked me “what I was going to do with another child”. I was thinking in my head like I don’t know but I knew I couldn’t say that to her. So I told her “that I was going to get back in school and strive for my dreams”. I decided that I’d start small and enter a community college before I went to a university to get the feel of the college life. I also went looking for a job. I liked having my own money and not having to depend on people. Within a week I was enrolled in my first official college classes and I had a full time job.
During the fall 2012 semester I was now 3 months pregnant and was feeling really sick so I hardly ever went to class or work. I knew I wasn’t going to make it through my first semester and keep my job by the way my attendance was. Of course I was right I barely made it through my first semester I even dropped a class and had to repeat two other classes. I even quit my job because I was being lazy. I just knew things weren’t looking up for me, I knew I was heading down the wrong rode again. Everyone was talking about how bad I was doing and that if I wanted a better life for my children I was going to have to do better.

I will always remember meeting my daughter, Alexandria, for the first time on November 29, 2011.

reorganizes into chromosomes, both undergoing prophases, metaphases, anaphases, and telophases. This is where the difference lays. In meiosis, chromosome pairs exchange some of the genetic material by “synapsing”, and splitting twice. This results in four daughter cells, each with only one half of the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. This process is generally used with sex cells and the sexual production of animals. On the other hand, mitosis is slightly different. While both prepare for…
