This interesting de got pregnant at 14 and dropped out of school.
Rachel Campi became pregnant at 14 and dropped out of school.
But this situation did not break the teenage mother. She promised herself that she would not give up. That she would work hard and study hard to give her little daughter the best possible childhood.
And so Rachel graduated from the university by the hand with her 6-year-old daughter and shared touching photos on social networks.
Rachel studied at different schools, then at York College and, in the end, entered the university. On this long and difficult journey, little Lilly-Rose was the main source of motivation for her mother to go forward and not give up.
At some point, Rachel was not easy at all.
She describes her condition as follows: “It was very difficult morally, morally. It seemed to me that I was walking in the dark, but Lilly-Rose lit the way for me. There were a lot of difficult moments in my first year at university. I doubted my abilities, I thought that I would not be able to overcome all this, I walked down the corridor and cried, I was about to quit my studies, asking myself why I was in such a difficult situation.
However, mother and daughter managed. And even the last work of the mother was written together. Lilly-Rose was doing her homework while Rachel was studying for her final exams.
Rachel recently completed her diploma and degree in Counseling Psychology. Graduation day from the university was filled with touching moments. Lilly-Rose, of course, was there.
Rachel says that the girl watched with delight as her mother put on her graduation cap. And during the ceremony itself, Lilly-Rose corrected the announcer, who, having called her mother on stage, mispronounced her last name. “This is my mom!” the girl added.
Rachel Campi has no plans to stop. She has a lot of energy, wants to become a public speaker and is already an ambassador for MindMate and the National Health Service (NHS).
Rachel appeals to everyone who doubts their abilities: “You can do anything, you just need to really want it”.
