Just Waiting to
be Born
Robert Isaiah Martinez
I am 17 years old, and am 8 months pregnant. I
found out when I was five weeks, and of course everyone assumed I was going to have an
abortion. I have to admit I was thinking about it even though I was anti-abortion for as
long as I can remember.
I am an Honors student, and I am starting
college in the fall. I am very proud of the decision I made to keep my son, and I coudn't
have done it without my parents. All my teachers at school are supportive, and help me
very much. At times, I do get so tired that I just want to quit, but I know that I got to
do this for my son. Even though he is not born yet, I have grown very close to him, and I
love him with all my heart. I don't know what I would have done if I had killed my own
son.
