Crystal: Welcome to ABC's Campus Interview Series. I'm David Crystal. Tonight, we shall share
the story of Vet, a senior at Lee High School. Vet, what was life like for you as a child?
Vet: Life was fun. I was always very loved, even without my father around. I was somewhat of a
troublemaker, but I have a lot of good memories to show for it. Being a child was the best
time of my life.
Crystal: How have your childhood years affected who you are today?
Vet: I was raised by very strong, supportive people. My mother and sisters have a lot to do with
who I am. I also learned many lessons, good and bad, which have made me a strong adult
. They have helped me realize what I need to do to be happy. My mother has always
been the best person in my life. She has never let me down, and has always been very supportive
. Whenever I needed a friend, she was one. My sisters have also been there for me.
When my morn was getting her college degree, she would be out late, and my sisters
stepped in and played morn. They are my best friends and give me great advice.
Crystal: What have been some of your biggest trials, and how have you overcome them? Vet: The biggest trial in my life was when I got pregnant sophomore year. It was a new road to
travel. I didn't have to get over it, I had to accept it and learn to adapt. Another trial
would be trying to get over the love of my life, my baby's father. We were engaged, but
things went the other way. I had to learn to love myself more than I loved a man.
Crystal: Who helped you during your pregnancy?
Vet: My morn and sisters were everything I needed them to be—a mother, sister, boyfriend,
best friend and father. All my friends were there for me, I could cry to them whenever I needed
to. I'm especially thankful for my morn. It was hard for her to deal with two pregnant
children at the same time. The dad and his family were also there, which was a blessing
Crystal: When a bad situation comes up, what do you do?
Vet: I try to find the best way to deal with it. I am often faced with issues in my school about
my race. It is not easy to keep your temper, but you have to try to understand why people
are upset and angry. I try to find a way out without hurting anyone, or. myself.
Crystal: How has being so small and pregnant affected your body?
Vet: It has worn me out. My body is stretched in places I never knew I had. My hips are huge,
I won't be a model again anytime soon. Being pregnant so young has emotionally drained
me. I have so many things to worry about now, and my emotions are like a roller coaster.
One minute I am happy, and the next depressed. I never spend time on my appearance.
I'm always focusing on my baby.
Vet提到My mother and sisters,再加上她,至少有四个人。
