Paige Green
Hi, my name is Paige Green and I am 18 years old. I just had my first child (my son) on January 17, 2009. I was actually supposed to be enrolled in college in August of 2008, but that was around the time that I found out I was pregnant. I was so disappointed in myself because, I knew this would have been a major setback. I also knew my parents an family would have been disappointed in me as well.
I graduated in May of 2008 as Valedictorian of my class, and continuing my education is very important to me. I didn't work that hard to become Valedictorian to let it all go down the drain. I really would like to continue my education in the medical field. I am going to continue my education not just for my family but also for my son and I! I want to show him that even though obstacles may get in your way, you still have to find a way to jump over them and continue in the right path. I want him to understand that his mother never gave up even though the road got a little tough, and hopefully in his future it will inspire him never to give up either.
By continuing my education it will give me a better future for my son, my family, and me. I refuse to just give up because I am a young teen mother because, if I give up I'm not only giving up on myself but I'm also giving up on my son and his future. Hopefully, I will get some type of assistance to continue my education with, so I can be a successful parent.
Thank You!
