My Papa and I 

Kayla Isabella Peguero, that is my name. In 1996 my mom was making bad decisions as she was only 17 years old in her Junior year. She met a senior boy at her school named Rogelio. They ended up dating for awhile sooner than later she made that bad decision and I was conceived.
Both of them being very young you can only imagine how they're parents reacted. My moms family is a huge family and super involved one also. My grandfather, her father was very disappointed in her. My dad's mother was the only one that was really involved in his life and she was very disappointed in both of them , his father was an alcoholic and didn't care much about him.

 After all the disappointment went away everyone was getting excited about the new addition to the family. On my mom's side I was gonna be the first born niece/nephew and on my dads, I was the 3rd niece/nephew.

My parents were super scared and told friends before their parents. Once the whole telling the parents happened they got super excited to have a baby, they were still really scared as anyone is no matter what age you are. Once they found out what sex I was gonna be they started looking at names. My parents really liked the name Bailey for me and they were set on it, but soon that would change, My mom and grandma both liked watching soap operas, Young in the Restless and General Hospital. There was an actor on there and her real name was Kayla and my mom loved that name. They were still set on Bailey.

Labor day came, 2 weeks later than my initial due date. I came into this world after a long night of labor. When my parents saw my face for the first time they knew I wasn't a Bailey, they soon changed their mind to Kayla. I was cherished and loved by many as I am today. I may not have my dad in my life anymore but I'm super strong and have so much more to fill in his spot.
