Melissa was seventeen when she had her first child, and everyone was telling her that she’d ruined her life. But Melissa didn’t want to let her life be defined that way. She graduated high school seven months pregnant, enrolled in university as a single parent, and graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing Science, eventually going back to university to become a midwife.

She lived the brave life. She proved to everyone that their words had no power over her life, and most importantly, she proved it to herself.
