Trials and Tribulations that made you into the person you are today? Trials and Tribulations that made me who i am today well I'd say becoming a young mom in general. All children are a blessing but having a child at a young age turned my life completely upside down. It wasn't till later that you see that your life has taken this turn for the better. I gave birth 3 months shy from 21 years old. Instead of doing the normal 21 yr old thing by living my life, making mistakes, growing more as a person, I was suddenly a full blown adult. Someone depended on me and that was so mind-blowing. It was definetly a hard adjustment/decision that I made with no regrets. I love my life and my daughter.

*Why do you consider yourself an Ymm? I consider myself a Ymm because I am actively involved in my childs life in any and every way possible. We even go to mommy and me gymnastics program. It's important to be in my daughters life; not because I don't want to be a good mom but a great mom for her!
