Last week, Korbyn and I began a new journey together. I started back at school at UT and will be taking classes this summer to make up for this past semester that I took off so that I could give birth to my biggest blessing. I know that the next year and a half of my life will be the most trying, difficult, exhausting, and draining time of my life as I am a full time college student at the University of Tennessee, serving 4+ days a week to provide for us the best I can, AND raising an almost 3 month old all at the same time. Being a single mother isn't easy in the least bit, but knowing that I'm not only a single mother, but am a working mother AND a full time student too is very rewarding and is something that I know Korbyn will be so proud of me for one day when she's old enough to understand what I went through to get us where we will be one day. I am doing everything I possibly can to provide the best life possible for my precious angel and I, and I know that nothing is going to come easy. Someone told me the other day that statistics show that less than 2% of young moms get an education before the age of 30. I am so beyond determined to become a part of that 2% of women who succeed and provide a future full of hope and happiness for my child. In the past year since I got pregnant, I've learned that going to school and getting my degree isn't just about me anymore. It's about US now. I have to graduate and get a big girl job doing what I love for US so that I can support US and live happily ever after, just the two of US. I have to make her proud, and I won't stop doing everything I can in order to do so. So Korbyn, my sunshine, here's to you.. to us. The next year and a half is gonna be a roller coaster, but I'm ready to buckle up and brace myself through the bumps because I know it'll all be worth it in the end. So glad you're along for the wild ride with me ???? I hope you know how much I love and adore you, Korbyn Reese. I can't wait to make you proud ❤️
