This was my story for the performance on Friday.
During the recession a lot of jobs were being cut but my parents got lucky and kept their jobs, only they had to work double shift. That left me more time with my boyfriend, we had unprotected sex and lead to an unplanned pregnancy. I was only seventeen, a senior in high school. I had to sacrifice my teenage life to become a responsible single mother. My parents didn’t support me, they were always at work. At five months I received the news that my daughter would be born with Down Syndrome and soon after my health care was taken away from me, because they were cutting that too. I was terrified and stressed. I had no idea what to do, I just prayed to God. On Thanksgiving I gave birth to my daughter who was healthy and it was covered by my health care that was given to me two weeks before. This is how..
LIFE PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE
Oh wow Karina, I had no idea what you had to go through. You're such a strong girl! I would've never known what to do had all those things happened to me. I give you so much props for your optimism and hope for a better tomorrow!
