well hmm 2 things really -
like prospectiverushee I took a huge risk moving to Dallas. I had spent 10 years in College Station, went to middle school and high school there - I had a choice - stay at A&M like everyone else I went to school with or strike out and try to make it on my own. So as soon as I turned 18, I moved to Dallas (actually Denton) with no job, no money, nothing. All I had was $500 that my parents lent me. It was hard at first but let me see everything I've accomplished - I have the most wonderful sisters in the world, I'm 3 semesters away from graduating, and best of all I met my soul mate.
another big risk I took was to divert from my course to have a baby. Last year after my then boyfriend and I decided to get married when I graduated, I found out I was pregnant. *not to start an abortion debate* I knew I couldn't go through with it, so I took the risk and went through with the pregnancy. It was hell, I lost everything - my parents abandoned me (temporarily), friends forgot about me, and yes some of the ones I trusted the most, my sisters backstabbed me. I was forced into alum status by a much despised chapter advisor and I found myself married and pregnant before I wanted to be. However, after the birth of my little guy in October everything has changed and my life couldn't be better. My greatest mistake gave me my greatest love
