At those ages
February 28, 2015
At 6 she wanted to be a ballerina
At 8 she wanted to be a veterinarian
At 10 she wanted to be a teacher
At 13 she wanted to be pretty
At 16 she wated to be dead
But...
At 18 she graduates highschool
At 20 she studies for her final
At 22 she gets her diploma
At 24 she finds her career
At 26 she whispers "I do."
At 28 she holds her newborn child
At 30 she wipes her tears and whispers
"I made it."

I think what inspired me to write this piece is that mostly all the young girls will do all these things.
I want people to learn that there will be rough times in your teenage years, but it will all pay off. You will get married, have kids, raise up those kids with your spouse.
