A Turning Point in My Life
Additionally, this decision has affected my future. With
an improved education, I have the chance to go to college.
As a result of this, I can study the subjects I adore, such as
psychology and English literature. I can do things that
before I would only have dreamt about doing. This gives me
a better outlook on life, as I can see the accomplishments I
can achieve in the future. Making this decision and crossing
this turning point will be an amazing task for my future.
Overall, I believe that making this decision to complete my
education and get my GED is an unbelievable turning point
for my life. Plenty of things have changed for me since I
have made this decision, such as my attitude. Instead of
being depressed, I am now ecstatic about the simplest of
things. Moreover, it has made my future look brighter. This
goes to show that any one decision, whether it be small or
enormous, can become a major turning point in your life
within the blink of an eye.

Don’t Blink
Some people around this world don’t understand how
grateful I am to be a loving mother. Yes, being a mother has
its ups and downs, but it’s a life-changing experience and I
honestly know I love my daughter more than words can say.
It’s hard to believe that almost a year ago when I became
pregnant I thought about abortion and adoption numerous of
times, telling myself “I’m too young. My life is over!” I was
16 years old, going to Columbia High School, and felt as if
everyone was judging me. I lost all my friends. People kept
telling me an abortion or adoption was a viable option for
me. But I began to tell myself, “This is my child. I love her.
And no one is going to tell me what to do with my
daughter.” I am very, very happy to say my daughter, Malia,
is in my life. I didn’t listen to anyone but what God told me
to do and to my heart and I am so thankful I did. My
pumpkin is now almost a year old and I’m glad to say we
have started our new family life without negativity or
