Hi everyone ,
I just wanted to tell you all about my daughter Jessica. She just completed her 3rd year at Mercer School of Pharmacy yesterday with their pinning ceremony. Some background: She was a straight A student, on the competition cheerleading team and class president in 10th grade. She became pregnant. Heartbroken is a mild word to say the least at how her dad and I felt. She finished the school year and then got her GED with honors. She had our grandson that october and started college(at 17) the following January. Her dream was to still be a Pharmacist so we said we'd help her with her dream. 6 years later she's almost done it!! and she's only 24!!. She's worked part time going to school, raised her son with our help and continued to be an A-B student.
Moms and Dads - please don't give up on your daughters if they become pregnant. See what ours has done and have hope that yours can do the same. Don't give up on them or throw them out of your home. That is the time they need your love and unconditional support the most.
What we thought was at first a tradegy we now thank God for. A strong, independent woman with a beautiful little boy. We are truly blessed.
Thanks for reading.

Congratulations to your daughter and her drive to succeed. I'm sure that you and your husband had a large role in her developing that attitude. She's a role model for the lesson that you've haven't failed if you don't quit.

I just want to take a minute to thank God for parents like you! My two daughters are just now hitting the pre-teen age years, and we're trying to instill in them the fact that our home is a "safe place." We want them to know that no matter what happens in their lives that they can always come to my their mother and I for help. We want them to know that with God's help we can work through anything together. Congratulaions to you, your daughter, and your whole family and God bless!
