 My Personal Reflection
At first I thought this topic was difficult because I never knew
the effects on being a single parent could hurt the child in

help me in the future when I become a parent also. I would
prefer to be in a Two-Parent Home myself and hope people
realize that it is not all about the adults, but is about the
children. I would like for my children to be successful in life
instead of being a failure.
