English 1301 Being Pregnant

As we grow up, we go through a series of experiences; some good and other bad. Some of us have had the experience of riding a bike, going out of the country, or maybe just graduating from high school. I have had many exciting experiences through out my life, but the one that I value more and has changed my life is being pregnant and giving birth to my daughter. Being pregnant with my daughter was a wonderful experience. I was thrilled since the fist day we found out that I was pregnant. Not only was I happy to know that I was pregnant, I was also scared because everything was changing. As the days passed by my stomach was growing and I no longer fit into my skinny jeans.

    “Why do people give into stereotypes other people give them? Why would you ever let someone else's negative thoughts dictate how you’re going to live your life?”(Rodriguez 143) A memoir called The Pregnancy Project is an inside look in daily life of Gaby Rodriguez faking her pregnancy for a school project. The novel is full of heartbreak, some humor, break-downs, and especially drama. The memoir has a good insight and it contains many details in the beginning but it seems like she just gave up with details near the end. Even though the book lacks detail, I recommend this book to teen girls that are in high school or even college because it is very inspiring.…

    “There are always going to be some people in life who disappoint you and don't believe in you like you hoped they would, and you have to find the strength to rise about it and realize that they're wrong. You're still a worthy person whether they thing so or not. If there's no one else to tell it to you, then tell it to yourself.” This is one of the things that Gaby Rodriguez says in the movie ‘The Pregnancy Project’.

Knowing that there is a precious life relying on you and your body why would you not take care of yourself. Now I am not dissing on people that have done that in the past but it is just people should really think.
