No she didn't. Thats what hes complaining about to begin with :dahell:

Popping out a kid isnt worthy pf being praised
Your neglectful bytch of a womb carrier "popped out" a kid, after letting a random get off a nut, when she had you. @sanityovar8ted is a mother that actually gave birth, took care of her responsibilities with the resources that she had and raised him. Know the difference.

Where the fuk is your father to teach you this other than popping off in your mom and blaming only her for your issues
:dahell:

Unlikely Graduate From UNT Dallas Shares Success Story, Plans To Break Family’s Cycle Of Poverty

DALLAS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) — On Friday, UNT Dallas will add to its growing alumni base as several hundred graduates will earn degrees: among them is Caleb Simmons, who — at first glance — is an unlikely success story.

“I didn’t get accepted the first time, it’s crazy,” Simmons admitted with a laugh.


Four years later, the 22 year old has not only earned his degree — but, he’s been selected to deliver the student commencement address.


“No matter how much poverty, or unfortunate circumstances a person can be put in, they can still make a better life for themselves,” Simmons said. “Opportunities can happen if you go for them.”

He speaks with a confidence that he admits is often mistaken for arrogance.

“I tell them, ‘No, the reason I’m like this is because of what I’ve been through.’ I’m extremely proud of myself,” he said.

It is a confidence earned, he says, through adversity.

“When I, like, had no place to live. I would miss a lot of classes because I didn’t have any place to stay, or any transportation. I was going to

stop coming to college,” Simmons recalled.

When he finally opened up to UNT Dallas staff, a mentor he had grown close to working in the orientation office got permission to take him in, until he got on his feet.

“A lot of our staff members see a lot of these students as more than just a number, a face in the classroom or in their office,” says Simmons’ mentor, Luis Franco, the university’s Director Undergraduate Recruitment and Admissions. “We know that without addressing the whole student, and their whole situation, they’re not going to be successful.”

After graduation, Simmons hopes to go to work for UNT Dallas as a full-time staffer, working to recruit and encourage other students who don’t see college as possible… because he is a product of that world.

Now, the student who said he didn’t intend to go to college, is now an enthusiastic advocate for higher education — saying his degree is more than a piece of paper. It will break the cycle of generational poverty in his family.

“By breaking it, I mean erasing it,” Simmons said. “There will be no poverty in my family.”

“If you’re having issues or you think that you can’t succeed, you stop and keep moving forward, you keep getting back on that horse,” he added with a smile. “When life lets you down, when people let you down… you keep moving forward.”

I'm not familiar with your story, do you care to share? If not I am okay and wouldn't bother you with any other inquiry...

I only ask because this hits a little close to home. Article says biological mother was not a part of his life, are you his biological?

I too grew up absent of my biologicals, most particularly my mother. Last conversation I had with her, I was 10 years old, August 1999. Didn't speak to her again until 2010, right before i turned 21. Alot of life happened between 10 and 21 for me that she missed, and she wasn't exactly present like that before I was 10. I'm the second oldest of her 7 kids, and it's been much more rare for me to relate with other people who didn't have their mother around as compared to their father....so this article seems relatable...

I apologize if I've misinterpreted it and again if you dont feel like rehashing I can dig it!

No itz ok...i am his biological mother he is just ashamed of me I feel. I suffer from mental illness and ended up homeless for awhile and I also had a drug addiction. He didn't have a bad life shyt was just crazy af and dysfunctional. They knew i loved them. The last time I saw him was in 2017 when were evicted i gave him my car cuz he was moving into the dorms in a few months and I went to the shelter. We don't talk much but we do talk some. I kinda understand y he said it cuz after I went to rehab and subsequently got my own apartment I moved out of DALLAS and his life was in DALLAS and he had no transportation so it wasn't feasible for him to leave DALLAS to come live with me..

:therethere: @murksiderock, glad things worked out for you.

I appreciate it...

The most important thing that worked out for me is the repairing of our relationship. We have a beautiful relationship now, but it took some trial-and-error to get where it is today. I value that more than anything, though...
