The Birth of My Daughter
The Birth of My Daughter The birth of my daughter, Kimora Nevaeh Roberts changed my life forever.[This is a good starting sentence. It easily grabs the readers' attention. Nice work!] The difference in my life from the years 2009 until now showed the amazing conclusion to my life that has changed forever. Having to grow up and be a mother took me away from many things that I was once doing without a child. Being a mother adversely affected my way of living, my family, and my education. Before this amazing birth of my daughter, I was clubbing at all the hottest parties, hanging out late, coming and leaving my house whenever I please because it was only me, and even spending money on unnecessary things.[You could start your paragraphs with topic sentences to show readers that your paragraphs supports your thesis.] Basically I enjoyed life as a young adult without a child to look up to me or depend on me. Out of all those things having a child was the last thing on my mind. I guess I really had no choice but to accept the fact that I was about to be a young mother and that not only I have to step up and take responsibility for my actions but I had to put my young, wild young adult life to be an mature adult because I now had an innocent human being that depended on me. By this point, my life was being greatly affected; hot dinner; emotions and stress that was never, ever talked about; constant calls and visits between me and my child’s father. Suddenly, I had no sense of direction of my life or where I was headed to being that I now have a family of my own so I slacked up on a lot to get myself together. At first nobody ever talked about what I’m going to do with myself now that I have a child. I carried on as normal until I realized that I can’t depend on my parents or my child’s father for everything. I needed to take responsibility and do what I supposed to do as Kimora’s mother. I worked two jobs to support us, days at McDonalds and nights at the local

    My father had picked me up while carrying me to mother, not angry like I thought they’d be. They held me whilst mother saying, “No one can replace you, Abigail, we love you dearly.” And “Nothing will change, even when the baby will come.” father told me.

The story was about changes in my life but it focused more on the lessons I learned from each experiences and how that affect my life further down the road.

    In my past, I was a partier. I did drink and experimented with drugs. Becoming a mother made me not interested in those things anymore. I was thinking about how to be the best mom I could be, how to better mine and Cheyenne’s life, and what to do next. I believe this is normal when you have a kid. I took all these thoughts into consideration though. I did not grow up knowing my birth family, I was in foster care. I really did not want that for my daughter.
