To all of you teen moms

Now read it backwards. 

I wrote this poem about 4 years ago just before I finished my doctorate. I was a teen mom, pregnant at 16 and had my wonderful son just after turning 17. Was it easy? No. It just makes it mean that much more. I wouldn't be half as successful as I am without him. I haven't shared this poem with many people, but I'm sharing it here in hopes that it helps even 1 person. Chin up ladies!
