My parents kicked me out when I was seventeen and pregnant.
I thought that was the moment my future ended.
Because when everyone else told me I had ruined my life, one teacher looked me in the eyes and said:
“You can still have a big future. Don’t give up on it.”
She took me into her home when I had nowhere else to go.
Months later, I made the hardest decision of my life. I placed my baby for adoption so she could have the life I knew I couldn’t provide at seventeen.
