You Can Make It

Becoming a young parent may change your plans, but it does not erase your future.
Teen Mom, You Can Make It is an honest, encouraging, and practical survival guide for young parents navigating parenting, school, money, childcare, relationships, and the responsibility of building a better life.
Rhonda Harry Pittman became a mother at seventeen. Through fear, judgment, financial struggles, and unexpected changes, she stayed in school, graduated with honors, earned her CNA certification, entered the workforce, built a federal career, became a homeowner, returned to acting, and became an author.
Drawing from her real-life journey, Rhonda helps young parents:
• Continue their education and pursue meaningful careers
• Find childcare, healthcare, food, housing, and financial resources
• Create a safe and stable home
• Recognize unhealthy relationships and protect their boundaries
• Build a dependable support system
• Manage money and plan for the future
• Parent without losing their identity, confidence, or dreams
The book also includes reflection questions, practical checklists, planning pages, and helpful national resources for parents who need assistance.
Your baby is part of your story-not the end of it. Your path may change, and progress may happen one small step at a time, but somehow, someway, you can make it.
