Reflection

The biggest impact that happened to me and changed my life forever was having my daughter. I never thought I could love someone so much before they were even born and continue to love them more and more each day goes by. I didn’t plan on having my daughter and even doubted on having her. I was very young and selfish when I found out I was pregnant and then I thought to myself that there should be no reason for me not to have her, I was healthy and had more than all the love and support I need to have her. My daughter changed my life in such an extraordinarily way. Before her I was going down the wrong path and wasn’t going anywhere with my life. I’ve had my daughter for 10 months, not even a year yet and she’s changed me and motivated me to do so much then anyone has in my entire life time. It’s insane how I created a person that I consume my whole life to and that I would do anything and everything for.

Reflection

I’m a teenager, a student and a mom and with that I carry a lot of things with me in my purse everywhere I go. Some of the things I can’t leave my house without is my cell phone that I practically hold in my hand everywhere I go. I also can’t go anywhere without my make-up bag that carries my all time favorite chap stick that reminds me of my great grandma because of the smell. Now that I’m going to school full time I always have with me in my purse pens, pencils, and highlighters. And also because I take the train to school I carry around with me a set of headphones so I can listen to my favorite tunes on the way to school. And since being a mom I realize I always have in my purse either wipes, a pacifier or some type of little toy hiding at the bottom of my purse. Some things that can never leave my purse and I carry with me all the time is my Victoria secret perfume, a hair tie, a couple of bobby pins, a Sephora mirror and my wallet that carries my driver’s license, my Fullerton college student ID, my chase debit card, a few gift cards and all the money I wish I had. Personally I think it’s a must you should carry around with you all the time is a pack of gum and some breathe mints because you never know when you’ll need it. And those are some of the things I carry with me in my purse.
