Yes, I was a teenage Mother and I had much to adapt to in my life.
I was also at university and my adaptation to a life I hadn’t foreseen for myself. The impact of motherhood meant I needed to get to grips with everything as I wasn’t just responsible for myself but also for my baby, my daughter who was so totally reliant on me and my support network.
My parents enabled me to achieve so much and I reflected on this and my response to it by not letting any opportunity go without me knowing if it would make a difference for us both. My first act was to change my degree subject to marketing. I wasn’t to know how I would make this decision a success but within a decade I advanced to a leadership role in a company that has progressed my career path.
The decade, my twenties, was one filled with challenges and changes. My parents bought me an apartment near the Coliseum, and I made my life rooted in a new routine and my progress was fixed in a certainty not withheld by my circumstances.
