When you start out as a teen mom, and you've got to figure out real quickly how you are going to not get your car repossessed ... and so you have to figure out, "What are my gifts, and how do I sell these gifts so that I can provide for another mouth?" while you are still carrying a backpack around every day. That's a pretty intense situation. What I've seen is that I was forced, and chose, what life handed me as an opportunity to figure some of this stuff out quickly.
