Personal Narrative: A Hard Struggle In My Life

935 Words4 Pages

A difficult struggle that I have experienced in my life would be having a child at such a young age. The struggles I would have to face didn’t face me at the time. This decision made me grow up and have to be more responsible. Not only was I responsible for myself, but having to be for another life.

    ‘But we did work it out. You see, before a child comes to one of us there is a period of utter exaltation—the whole being is uplifted and filled with a concentrated desire for that child. We learned to look forward to that period with the greatest caution. Often our young women, those to whom motherhood had not yet come, would voluntarily defer it.
