Charlie’s Story
Posted on Thursday, March 29, 2018 by
Charlie became pregnant as a junior in high school.
The circumstance of her pregnancy, as is often the case, were dark. Facing the possibilities of discarding her life goal of becoming a doctor, Charlie sought help. She became familiar with Parent Life through her school and started attending regularly. Annie Rhode connected with Charlie in a mentoring relationship as together they walked the path of raising children.
Over the course of two years, Charlie has started bringing other parenting teens along with her to Parent Life. Charlie graduated from high school and has enrolled at Southeast Community College. At this point, she doesn't see a clear path to becoming a doctor, but she has chosen to study Respiratory Therapy which clearly sends her along that path of working in the medical field.
