My first School Assignment For Critical Thinking: Analyze A Goal You Achieved

Why share this assignment with you? Well because as stated in my bio I am first and foremost a mother, a fashionable one but a mom nonetheless. After completing this assignment I thought it woudl be nice to share something a bit more intimate with my readers....

One goal that I recently achieved was having a child; I have wanted to birth my own child for as long as I could remember. I always imagined how my baby girl would look and what a great mother I would be. I played in my head images of us playing, laughing and cuddling together. I could not wait until the day that I could hold my baby girl in my arms and really have her.

I had always thought from the age of 19 that I was not able to bare children.  After having a failed pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage I discontinued the use of oral contraceptives as I thought they would only hinder my ability to conceive. Although, I was never purposely trying to get pregnant, the fact that I had never even had a scare or a slight possibility of being pregnant tormented me. Nonetheless cleared by the OB/GYN as healthy and fit to conceive it didn’t happen until April of 2009. For nine long, painful, emotional, uncomfortable, excruciating months I anxiously awaited the arrival of my daughter Naliya.

Naliya Alexa Medina born 1/23/210 is my biggest and most proud accomplishment ever, in retro spec although anyone can have a child and it isn’t an impossible goal to achieve, she is my most prized possession and who and what I value the most in this world. She is my precious gift from God. Even though on paper I will God willing, soon have many honorable achievements this one is the most valuable one to me. Nothing can replace the feeling of giving someone life, meeting them after nine months and pushing with all of your might just t finally see their tiny little face.  I will never forget the moment my daughter was born; I can still remember just saying over and over “I did it, I did it” as my eyes filled with tears of pure bliss…. Complete joy.

Thanks for stopping by and reading it is always greatly appreciated....
