My name is Symphony, I am 18 years young and I am expecting a my first baby September 22nd. It's a boy! And his name is going to be Julio Angel. His daddy's name is Juan, and we have been together for a little over a year. We are so excited for our son to get here, we can't wait! I am still trying to finish high school, this year I will be a "super senior" but I WILL graduate. I had the wonderful opportunity of going to Tri Tech Skills Center, where I took the Pre-Nursing class, passed, and got my certification as a nursing assistant. After I finish high school and get things on track I plan on going to Columbi Basin CommunityCollege and getting my 2 year degree in nursing and finish as a Registered Nurse. My boyfriend and I may be considered too young to be starting a family and maybe that's so, but my son is no mistake, he is a blessing and miracle.
