All About Me

Hi, my name is Rachel Robin. I come from a small town south of Arkadelphia. I am currently pursuing an education in Social Science at the wonderful Henderson State University! I feel like I will do great things in my career as a teacher. However, most people who have been in my position have given up. I am more than just a student; I am a mother, an employee, and most importantly a role model to my children. When I was 16 years old I found out I was pregnant. It was a huge shock to us but little did we know it would turn into the biggest blessing we had ever received. Being pregnant in high school wasn’t easy but it pushed me to be a better person. On February 3, 2014 I went to my 39 week check-up. I was sent to the hospital and shortly after I was told an emergency C-section was needed. An hour later I was pushed into the operating room with all kinds of emotions running through my mind. At 5:21 p.m. I heard my 6 pound 2 ounce baby boy let out that first cry. My life was immediately changed forever. Two years later he is the bossiest most independent 2 year old you will ever meet. After having him I graduated high school and went on to college. I have stuck with it all this time and have been quite successful. Although things are going to get a lot harder in September of this year. Two months ago we learned that we will be receiving yet another blessing into our lives. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant with baby number 2. I refuse to give up because I not only have one life depending on me, but two. I am starting this blog because I feel a lot of woman need encouragement when it comes to being successful but also being a mother.
