[1] It was one of the happiest times of my life. I was 29 and had just received my bachelor’s degree, graduating with honors despite working two jobs and being a wife and mother. My parents and five-year-old son were in the audience when I walked onto the stage at Ashland University to get my diploma. I was so excited and proud to be starting a teaching career and contributing more to my family’s well-being.
[2] But when I got home that evening, there was a note from my husband written on the back of an envelope. It basically said he’d come to get his clothes and wouldn’t be back. We’d been having trouble, but the note still ____________________. He had emptied our bank account. We were horribly in debt. I had quit my previous jobs because of an interview for a teaching position. Plus, I was eight months pregnant.
[3] Most young women have an idealized picture of the happy-go-lucky life they’re going to live. But no one ever sits you down and says that’s not reality, and sometimes life is just ugly. I was embarrassed, scared, and angry and felt I had failed.
[4] But I had my son, and I was about to bring a new life into the world, so despite my deep sadness, I had to go on. The next morning, I woke up, put my feet on the floor, took a deep breath, fixed breakfast, and basically did everything I always did. One small step after one small step was the way I bounced back.
[5] And in the seven years since, I’ve continued moving forward. I got a job as a kindergarten teacher, earned a master’s degree in education, and watched my babies grow to 12 and seven. It helped me find my voice and myself and helped me grow independent, confident, and strong.
