Facing pregnancy during my junior year led to my parents kicking me out. With Pete, my now-husband, I tackled parenthood and online classes, graduating despite the chaos. Balancing a steady job and preparing for college, I’ve now secured a temporary role at The Extreme Bound Artistry’s gallery. The pay is good, but the job's stringent conditions unsettle me. Still, I’m determined to embrace this new opportunity and build a better future.
