It makes me sad I didn’t get my last year of high school sometimes. although, i know if i was there that I’d be wanting to get out. Just seeing everybody post up their end of the year pictures and saying “goodbye” to everybody else makes me somewhat sad. But, then again, high school is really overrated. I thought everything in High School counted towards the real world. Truth is, it really doesn’t. I regret getting pregnant and not waiting to have sex sometimes, but I don’t regret my baby. Not at all. I’d trade all of it just for her. I think it all worked out. Besides graduating early, and this may sound bad but, I think Callie coming into being is my greatest and best accomplishment in those years. She is so beautiful and all of this happened for a reason. This is also crazy, but the day she was conceived, I was wearing an “I HEART NEW YORK” shirt. Ha. I think without her I would have never been inspired to do anything. I wouldn’t have cared. I really, really wouldn’t have cared. I love her so much, though.

Ashley,
I just wanted to write you and tell you that you are such an inspiration to me (and I know to so many other people, too.) You have already inspired so many and I can’t imagine how many more lives you will touch after your episode airs on MTV.
I do not have a child, nor have I ever been pregnant, but I have many, many close friends who have been and who have made a variety of decisions regarding their pregnancies. Though I cannot relate to pregnancy and everything you went through, your courage, selflessness, and strength makes me want to be a better person. I have started going back and reading your blogs…i still have a lot to go, but already I am so inspired and so touched. I think you made the best decision for Callie, & I think it was the most selfless thing you could have done.
I have never met you, & I probably never will. But I wish you the best and once again I just hope you know how much you have inspired me and so many others.

Ashley,
Prior to knowing about Part B of 16 & Pregnant I did not know who you are and probably would have never known who you were if I hadn’t stumbled across Leah Messer’s Fan Page. From reading your blog I have cried many times. I feel for you and I pray for you. You are such an inspiration to me. You are a strong woman and stronger than many by doing what you thought was best. I hope you have someone close you are capable of talking too. I wish I could have known you because you are going through something so hard in your life. I am a mom, so I know.
Good luck with your life. I’m sure you can get the e-mail posted with my comment, but if you need someone unbiased that you don’t know, I am a good listener.
Samantha
