A college student returns to college after a big change is made to her life.

Ebony Osby a 20 year old junior from Kansas City Missouri realized she was pregnant the summer of her sophomore. With her baby father in denial Ebony decided to keep her baby without telling anyone. Despite the challenges she faced she decided to come back to Northwest Missouri State University and finish school.

Ebony returned to school August 2010 with her stomach as big as her book bag, shocked spread across the whole school as she walked to class with an extra 20 pounds added to her stomach. Ebony explained people’s reactions “People were shocked that I came back to school especially without taking breaks, but most of them were proud of me.”   Ebony continued to tell me how balancing school, a child, and work is not easy but she has wonderful friends who help her through this journey and without them she wouldn’t be where she is. Throughout my essay I will go through the different things that Ebony goes through as a college student and a mother the highs the lows and everything in between.

Vitamin E Intake

People who struggle to conceive should think about adding Vitamin E and Zinc into their diet.Researchers found that men who have less fertile than average but still capable of making a baby found that  those who took antioxidants were more than four times as likely to get their partners pregnant. Subfertility affects one in 20 men and is responsible for half of delayed conceptions. But even though its only been proven in a small amount of couples researchers caution couples not solely count on antioxidants. Once more research has been done they should be able to tell which couples it will help.
