This I Believe–Terry

Posted by jefferson8 on May 23rd, 2008

I believe that young ladies have a way in life because men and boys look at us for others things, but it is time to show that we are something special and that we can make something out of ourselves. 

Boys always think that I am older then what I am because the way I dress and show off my body. I don’t think that that’s much respect for me when I do things like that. Now that I have a child of my own I have to be a respectful looking mother for her. I use to be ashamed that I’m 15 years old and I’m  pregnant, but now that I look like a respectful young lady it’s nothing to be ashamed of because I made that decision.

 I believe that all girls should finish school to be the best they can be in life, because waiting for a man to do what they can do is not a successful and reasonable lady. All ladies should want to be something in life by going to school everyday. We all can be very successful and not only that, but smart too. 

Ladies who don’t go to school is the ones who allow their men to beat and hurt them and tell them what to do. Then they have to work at them laid off jobs like McDonalds. When if they only went to school and college they could have a ten times better job then what they have now. 

I believe that we as girls and ladies should always have the say in our life, not what the next person thinks we should say.  This is why I say young women have a way in life and something very special about us and so it’s time to show it off instead of arguing and fighting with each other and for this I believe.
