Let's have a little more back story.
John and I both excelled all throughout school. Often being the "smart kid" in class. We went to a magnet middle school that focused on math and science, then the high school that followed the program. And, not only did we work hard to get into these school, we played instruments.
I was in the orchestra. Many hours of practice went into my instrument, the viola, and I often held first or second chair. John played the trumpet and sang in the choirs. He was in marching band, and jazz band, as well as the chamber choir. He spent hours after school to maintain his musical talent.
Basically, we didn't fit the "type to get knocked up in high school" stereotype. But, we did. And, we weren't what you would consider the promiscuous or popular type. Either way it happened.
In my opinion, it is best for Mya that she "happened" to us. We may have been unprepared, but were intelligent enough to research through my pregnancy, and continue to read to find out the best things we can do for her.
Although, we had the option of leaving her in the care of family for me to finish my education, we decided that the most reasonable and fair thing to do was for me to be her primary caretaker. And, that has lead to where we are now. If we did not choose to be around for her at all times, I don't think she would be as well rounded as she is.
