“我在16岁时怀了孩子，在她出生几个月前和她父亲分手了。从一出生起，我就和我的女儿一起生活。当时我和妈妈住在一起，没有收入。我当时一直在上Louise Dean Centre，但在她出生后，我很难重新回到学校。在我家人的帮助和Louise Dean学校里每个人的鼓励下，我在她七个月大时回来上学，但我几乎没有来上课。但现在我19岁了，我需要停止将这个放在一边。今年我正在上所有的20级和30级课程。我不仅在第一学期得到了全勤奖，现在我还提前被博谷学院录取进入司法研究文凭课程。我得到了很多鼓励，很多人推动我，并相信我能做到。在我从博谷学院毕业后，我想加入警察队或军队，并加入突击队。”

“I got pregnant at 16 and broke up with my daughter’s father a couple of months before she was born. It’s just been me and my daughter since day one. I was living with my mom with no income at the time. I had been attending Louise Dean Centre, but after she was born, it was a struggle to go back to school. With the help of my family and the motivation of everyone here at Louise Dean, I did come back when she was seven months old, but I hardly ever came to class. But now that I’m 19, I need to stop putting this on hold. I’m doing all my 20 and 30 level classes this year. Not only did I get the perfect attendance award in term one, but I now have early acceptance into Bow Valley College’s Justice Studies diploma program. I had a lot of encouragement. A lot of people pushed me and believed in me that I could get it done. After I graduate from Bow Valley College, I want join a police force or the military and be on a SWAT team.”
