I Want To Stay At Home-Personal Narrative

Hey there! My name is Ashley Barnes, I am 23 years old. I currently am a stay at home mom while my boyfriend works, but I love my job and wouldn't want to have it any other way. I like fishing, hunting, the beach, the outdoors, and beautiful nature in general. I am currently working on my high school diploma through Penn-Foster, and I am also working on my driver’s license. Starting with my young childhood, I was born in Bloomsburg, PA on December 29, 1994. I think a big part of my love for outdoors started when I was about 6 years old and my grandmother used to take all my cousins, my brother, and I camping. We used to go camping for an entire summer.

I then moved in with Josh and his family, to which I tried home school but that didn't work out because I became pregnant with our first son. I then became employed at my first job which was Subway. We had our son when we both were 18, times were tough, but we made it though. Eventually, we moved out into our own apartment, we were 19 with a child living on our own. I changed my career from Subway to a cashier at Walmart. I do not have my license so with Josh and I working rides and babysitters were getting harder to find.

Camden is now 4 years old, and his brother Mason is now 8 months old. No matter how rough life gets you can always keep pushing through, trust me, I did. My fiancé and I are finally stable enough to where I feel comfortable to try to complete my high school diploma and my driver’s license, which my next goal is a second car in the family for myself to drive, and were hoping by the end of 2018 to own our own home. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I hope you have a wonderful
