I did not understand the true meaning of responsibility until maybe late last year when I found out I was pregnant. That day changed my life. I sat inside Starbucks and reflected on my life up to that point. I knew from that day on; that if I plan on keeping the baby I had to prepare myself mentally, physically, and financially.

Our anchor is a dark upright piano in the corner of the dining hall, with its painted wood beamed ceiling, painted wood paneled walls, hardwood floors and dark curtain rods with opened light drapes; an

What else do I have to do in the middle of the summer? I just could not pass this up, so off I went.
