My blog post is about tuning my this I wonder essay into a found poem. a found poem is a type of poetry created by taking words or phrases and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reforming them as poetry.
I got pregnant at 15 years old, yea I was very young but whatever life goes on right?
I didn’t know what to do or who to tell so I kept my secret to myself.
Well except my best friend she knew because she was the one who dared me to take a pregnancy test in the first place.
Days went by and I still haven’t told anybody.
All I could think of was what people would think of me, shit I even thought about what my mother would do to me.
A month went by and I was sitting in my mom room doing my hair.
I remember I had on a purple tank top and my mom look at me and she asked was I pregnant.
I denied it and asked why she ask me that she said your breast look big and you been eating and sleeping a lot.
I was terrified to tell my mom.
Once she was done getting dressed she look at me and asked me again.
I sat there for a second then I just broke down and told her yes.
My mom was really upset at me she left the house and when she came back she didn’t even talk to me.
Nobody knew I was pregnant besides my immediate family because I was too ashamed.
I really didn’t want to deal with people judging me because I made a mistake.
Everybody makes mistakes and you have to learn from them.
When my son finally got here he was so tiny and I was scared to hold him.
It was hard at first being a mom and trying to go to school but I had to finish school.
A lot of people was saying I wasn’t going to graduate and on June 6, 2013.
I proved to everybody they was wrong about me, and that I was going to graduate.
When I look at my son I realize everything I do is for him he motivates me to continue going to school and get my degree and become better for the both of us.
I can’t imagine my life without my son today I am a proud mother.
