Learning Begins at Home

I’m not really getting into the reasons as to why I stay at home with her, and I’m not even giving you a break down of our day.

I begin my road to motherhood at the tender age of 15. I was a sophomore in high school, irresponsible, and afraid. Luckily, my mom was supportive and understanding, though I’m sure she was also disappointed. Still,…
