Gaby Rodriguez "The Pregnancy Project"

While reading "The Pregnancy Project" I've learned a lot of new things about the characters and their backgrounds. I've especially learned a lot more about Gaby's perspectives on things. One of the things I've learned about Gaby is her strength. She's they type of girl to not let people get in her way of what she wants to accomplish. She was raised to not let people's words or actions get to her. Her mother was a very strong woman having to deal with a lot of people, she raised her daughter the way she learned to deal with it on her own. When the school board sat down Gaby to talk about the effects of letting everyone think she was pregnant, she stood strong and let them know how she was raised. Most people would be nervous about all the talking people would do, but not Gaby. I think what Gaby did was a very brave thing to do. She taught a lot of students the ways of being a teen mother. I think that what she did was a smart way to teach teens about what it's like to go through that certain situation. Gaby chose one of the smartest ways to educate others about a problem that's so highly known around the world.


I think that from the project Gaby did, she learned a lot of new things. When she talks about having to go through the process of learning how to "be pregnant", she learns a lot about what most woman deal with. Having to go through all the weight issues, eating limits, and many other procedures that go along when a woman is pregnant. Not only did she learn about all the problems that effect most pregnant woman, but she learned that people can be so quick to judge you without even knowing your full story. I think that Gaby handled everything she went through pretty well and I hope that if I ever get myself in a sort of situation, I hope that I can handle it the way she did.
