Post #3: Life as an Undergrad

I feel like my life as an undergrad has been drastically different from the experiences of my peers. When I was a senior in high school, I fell in love. The week I turned 18, he proposed. I said yes, my mom said no. My heart was broken, but I decided that marrying my husband was the right choice for me, no matter what the cost. We struggled a lot. I worked full time for my first two years of college and maintained a 3.5 GPA. Then, I got pregnant with my son. I worked to keep up in school through morning sickness, backaches, and leg cramps. I was even in class on my due date! I'm still working toward my degree, and my life as an undergrad has never been more rewarding. I'm looking forward to graduating and making my family proud.
