I had Noah when I was twenty, I'll be thirty-one on Tuesday, thirty something me thinks its totally nuts that a twenty year old would raise a baby. When I was pregnant with him I was working and in school. I remember saying, "I can't go to school, work, and be pregnant", so I quit my job, finished out my semester in college, then stayed at home as a mom until Noah was two and that was when I started working again.
I have been in college the second time since May of 2010, at one point I was doing school full time, working two jobs and was pregnant. As I got older I realized I was capable of way more than what twenty year old me thought. However, just because you are capable doesn't mean you should or makes it beneficial. Maybe twenty year old me had it right in setting some boundaries and priorities. I'm only three classes away from my BA, I'm proud, but I'm also so freaking exhausted. I've proved to myself what I can do, so what?
