Honestly, I don’t know who this is for but someone needs this. I’ll make this as short as I can.
I’m a regular blog visitor. My name is Inem and I’d like to encourage someone today, here’s my story.
During my industrial attachment (my yr 4), I found out I was 4
months pregnant. It was hell for me because my parents (are) renowned
people in church. I made up my mind not to abort and told my then
boyfriend.He insisted I aborted but thank God I was ‘stubborn’. I
prayed, summoned up courage, went and told my parents….. Damn!!
They were disappointed. Mom cried, never seen her look so disappointed. To cut thE long story short, my expected delivery date (EDD) was March 2012 but school was to resume Dec. 2011.
Remember early 2012 ASUUstrike? it was in my favor, God just made
it for me,8 days 2 my EDD, I delivered a beautiful bouncing baby
girl….She’s brought joy and uncountable blessings my way.
News of my pregnancy did spread like wildfire, people said a lot of
hurting stuff. The guy responsible for my pregnancy never called for
once. He blocked me from all social networks we were on and warned me
not to call him.
I passed through serious emotional stress. I cried, I prayed, I was
down, felt so bad,I even thought of suspending education (it was that
bad)…Finally, I prayed for the grace to carry on when I got back to
school.
One thing I never did – I didn’t regret keeping that pregnancy!!!
Well, I completed my education. I didn’t give up.. I’m now a graduate of electrical/electronics engineering.. (No extra year).
Currently serving in Ondo state.
You see, if you find yourself in a situation that is not death, there is always a way out.
Never give up. Now, though single, I look at my baby with great
joy. She’s just a year-plus but a very smart girl. She amazes me. please
don’t let life’s situation weigh you down. Hold your head up high and
damn side talks.. Make up your mind to pull through it and you will.
Others did, I did, so can you!!!!
Have a great day
thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very touching story! I know a few girls who had been like that - it's horrid to see. Most of them had aborted because they didn't think that they had the strength to go on with the child. It's such a relief to see a girl so strong and for her to be able to be happy about keeping the child! I'm so going to send this to a few of my friends who have that kind of thing going on with them at the moment.I wish her and that adore girl the best of luck. [:
