Answer 5

I passed this question on to my cousin that lives with my family... she is 19 and has a beautiful 2 year old.

Her responses:

1. Keeping up with all of my responsbilities. It is hardest to keep myself focused on my education while having to care for all the needs of my child.

2. Yes, my older cousin and her husband. They have children too and took me in when I got pregnant and my parents refused to have me. They insist on making sure I receive my education and are helping me pay for college

3. Pre-natal classes, teen mommys group

4. Money: I work with my cousin as a part time assistant/nanny during most weeks and full time in this position on vacations.

5. I am enrolled full time in college. My cousin and her husband care for my child while I am in class and give me time to study. I aim to be a lawyer like my cousin, so I get lots of help that way. I think it is a priority to get my education, not for myself, but for my child.
