I'm 34 weeks right now and I'm a senior in high school. I'm just going to a two year school because that's all its going to take me to become what I want.
If the college is close enough that your going to live at home and just travel then I would totally go for it. That's if your parents or some one else is willing to baby sit.

I had my daughter as a jr in college. My second is on the way and I start grad school next fall.

I am in high school as well, I'm 6wks and 6days and I was also accepted into a four year university and I can't wait. I mean just stay positive cause you can accomplish anything anyone without kids can accomplish. Like my mom says, there is nothing impossible in this life.

@perly thank u and everybody that commented because I think so many people expect less from teen mothers.I hear it from the older people in my family who really dnt think I can do it.I'm so thankful for my mother and bf without them this would be a lot harder

I had a double major in psychology/hospital management. My grad school is for nurse practitioner in psychiatric nursing. My husband is currently in school also for hospitality management. We will be done at about the same time. We get to work part time bc we take out cost of living loans since we are independents. It sucks sometimes thinking about the huge amount of money we will have to pay back but are income will more than triple so it is worth it. Plus only working part time means we only use the grandmas as sitters one night a week. She never goes to any other sitter or daycare. Making scheduals work is the most stressful part sometimes and babies know when ur doing homework! Im surprised my laptop still works with all the times she has bashed on it when im typing a paper lol

I'm just going to be an ultrasound technician. There is a community college that has two year classes for it so I will be driving back and forth.:) you got accepted into a four year college so congratulations. For sure take the opportunity of going and becoming what you want.
