JENNIFER MERRILL APPROACHED me on the first day of school during the fall semester. She told me that she may have to run out of class sometimes - she was pregnant, and morning sickness was unpredictable.
I told her to write about her experiences. She's 18, a freshman at TU. She doesn't know what she will do with the child - she is weighing keeping the child versus putting the child up for adoption.
Jennifer wrote a long, thoughtful piece. I sent it to my editor at the Philadelphia Weekly. And it is the cover story of this week's paper.
Get your career started now. Write, photograph and create videos for the Temple News. Join student groups like ED2010, TABJ, WHIP, Temple Update, the Templar, SPJ, whatever.
Get involved. Now.
