My Life

Vickie Mateo

 

At the age of 19, I ran away from my mother's house. Ever since then, my life has been very hard.

About 2 years later, I ran away from home. My boyfriend and I were suffering and staying from house to house and were very unhappy. At the age of 21, I had my first baby girl; she was 3 pounds and premature. I had started working, but I had to leave my job because I had to give all my attention to my daughter. When my daughter was a 1½ years old, I gave birth to my second daughter. She was healthy.

I was still struggling until housing gave me an apartment. That day I was so happy; my boyfriend was too. Now I am 27 years old, and I have some goals I want to achieve. I have four kids, and I am thankful to God for giving them to me. I am a good mother. I want the best for my kids. That's why I am trying to get things right for my family. I have big goals for the future, and I know that with the help of God I can succeed.
