Real Life

9 Months Ago-- my little brother dropped out of college
In less than 9 Months-- he is going to be a dad. 

9 Months ago-- I was preparing to graduate college
In 9 months I will still be a law student. 

Look at your life, look at the changes that can occur in 9 months. 

I'm happy for my brother and terrified for him all at the same time. Mostly I know he isn't ready. He's just a kid. He cannot even keep a job yet. 

I hope and pray he finds work, and KEEPS it. That the baby is healthy. That his girlfriend and he continue to have a loving relationship. 

Advice? Stay in school. I'm not ready to be a mom yet. and I'm thankful I don't have to make those decisions yet. 

ps family drama makes law school a nice escape... a place to dive into, to try to understand why we have a bill of rights. but a scary place as well... especially when you are reading a bunch of cases about people beating babies, and neglecting them... not that my brother will do that... but it is just creepy that there are people in the world who do that... bagh heebie jeebies.
