As a pregnant teen, I was told a lot of things. "You won't be able to finish school. You'll never be able to support yourself. You've ruined your life. How could you let this happen? Are you not with the dad? No one wants a girl with baggage. You're damaged goods." Encouraging stuff, no?
Because of Fristers I learned to love myself and my child.

I was much more selfish before, but now I think about what kind of role model I’ll be. I just want to be a better man. Thanks, Fristers, for such an amazing program.
