❝ THERE ARE MANY PATHS IN LIFE. there’s the ‘hey, you’re cute, sure, i’ll marry   you after graduation and med school’ and the 'can you drive susie to soccer today, 'cause i’ve   got a pedicure?’ path. and then there’s my path, where i found myself 16 and pregnant and i     realized 'i have to get a job, i have to raise a kid and being me, i have to do it all by myself.’ not easy. but the thing with my path was, when i reached the end, i turned around and realized i’d ended up someplace really good. ❞
