S'more Backstory! The End of High School!

So in 2011, I was in high school. I had no interest in being there. I love babies. And breastfeeding. And cloth diapers. I didn't want to be in school. I wanted to be a Mum. My grades sucked. I missed a lot of school because I would get anxiety. I hated high school. It sucked.
In May of 2011, I got pregnant. I was excited. Yay! It was what I wanted! Seriously. It was the best thing that happened to me. I do think that I should have finished high school. Before I even knew I was pregnant, I knew something was up. I fell asleep everywhere. Getting dressed? Fell asleep. Going to the bathroom? Fell asleep. Eating? Fell asleep. I swear 60% of my pregnancy was spent sleeping. So naturally, I fell asleep in class. My already poor grades really dropped. I didn't even try to fix them. I was ashamed. So I just hid. I didn't go to school I found out. I figured there was no point. But DURR, of course there was. I totally should have finished that semester. At least then I would have my OSSD. But I can't go back and finish that. Or change it. I'm no timelord.
So. Moral of the story. You need motivation to succeed in school. Whether you just want those numbers or you have an end goal in mind, you need something. 'Nother moral? Don't get pregnant in high school. It's awkward. But if you are pregnant, and young, and currently reading this for some reason. Don't give up and just wallow. Seriously, it will get you no where. It may take some time, but don't stop searching for what you want to do with your life. If you want to be a SAHM, try and find a way to make that work. Love breastfeeding? Find something to do with that (like me!). Love those fluffy bums? Make your own line of cloth diapers! Dust off that old sewing machine you got from your weird, gender biased aunt.
Yay learning more about me!
Type to y'all later!

Welcome!

Hey!
Welcome to my blog. I'm not sure how you got here but I'm glad you did. This here is all about my travels on the road to becoming a lactation consultant. As I write this, I'm in academic upgrading to get into college to get into practical nursing. At the beginning of this month, I got conditionally accepted into the Practical Nursing program at Canadore College (now you know where I live, scary).
Outside of school, I'm a wife and mother. I am 20 years old. We are currently on social assistance so we can get into college. Yep, I'm one of those bottom feeders. Call me what you like, someday I might be helping you breastfeed your child. That's pretty much it for now. Have to get back to the respiratory system. Hope you enjoy your stay!
