I'm a 19-year-old mother of a beautiful little girl. She'll be 3 years old this year. I never wanted a child. I guess this was God's way of saying this was meant for me. I was destined to have this little girl at that time or it was never going to happen. I'm proud to be a young mother. I'm just proud to be a mother. I'm a very happy person and I couldn't ask for anything better.

I think young mothers like me experience life faster because we have a way about ourselves. We are before our time. I've always been told growing up that I was much more mature than my age.

The day I found out I was pregnant I was in denial but I wasn't at all sad. For months I got heckled and degraded. I was told I wouldn't amount to anything. I was told I wouldn't be able to support myself or a child. And the best one: I was told no one would love me or my little girl. We'd be forever alone.

Well, I proved them wrong. I'm a wonderful mother and no one thought I would be. I finished school and I passed with flying colors. I plan on becoming an ultrasound tech and then hopefully owning my own business someday soon.

Then the best of all: Someone loved me and my daughter. I am a happily married mother and wife. My husband is in the military.

I hope someone's story inspires someone else, and so on.
