Sophia Abraham and Farrah Abraham

Coming into the spotlight with the reality show, 16 And Pregnant, Farrah Abraham was a woman who was able to turn things around for herself despite the challenges she went through at a young age. Though getting pregnant at only sixteen wasn’t the most ideal, the event brought her all the motivation she needed to take matters into her own hands and change her fate.

She wrote her life story and published it, which ended up becoming a bestseller and also shows a lot of potential for a possible series. Her experience just goes to show that with hard work, proper planning, and a bit of luck—we can all change the course of our lives for the better. Sure, it had been controversial for her in the beginning, but it’s clear that Farah has a good head upon her shoulders and will do what is needed to create a good life for her family. She deserves much credit for it.
