I became a father at 17 and raised my daughter on my own — 18 years later, an officer knocked on my door and asked, “Sir, do you have any idea what she’s done?”
I became a father at seventeen.
You know how it goes — crazy high school love.
When my girlfriend found out she was pregnant, it was terrifying, but I stepped up.
I worked and studied at the same time to give my child everything she needed.
I promised we would get married. By the time I finished high school, my daughter Ainsley was already by my side.
It wasn’t easy, but I was happy. I love Ainsley deeply, and I don’t regret a thing.
