Imagine instead of coming home after school to do home- work, you instead had to cook supper and! or clean up the house before your spouse comes home. Imagine having to deal with bills, possibly kids crying. making ends meet, and trying to balance conflicting schedules in order to have time with your spouse. For three LHS students mar- riage wasn't always easy. All found finances diificult but still believed married life was reward- ing. Veronica IHansonl Harper, sr, felt that most people thought the only reason teenagers got mar- ried was because they wanted to get away from home for some reason. 'Being married isn't the easy way out of living at home. Some people think that if you get mar- ried and! or pregnant, every- thing will be 'hunky-dorey.' It isn't always that way. People drop school, but it isn't the thing to do, said Veronica. I got mar- ried because Iwanted to, and my father gave me his blessing: I feel I've had to grow up faster than most teenagers: therefore, I can handle it. I've found that mar- ried life is very time consuming because of the housekeeping, school and work.

For Kelli lFrazierl Waterhouse, jr, she realized that her life totally changed compared to most teen- agers. Instead of planning Fri- day nights with friends, she had to balance the checkbook and take care of the baby. Mike and I were going to getg married afterl graduated, but we just sped things up because of sg' the pregnancy. We both wanted is this baby to have a mother and a father, an identity. Since I've been married, I've realized that I have to be organized all the time. I have to find time to do home- work plus my senior correspon- dence courses and being wife and mother. As the basis of a good relation- ship with her spouse, Michelle IChrlstianJ Bush, jr, explained that trust and love are the keys. 'You need to love and trust each other in order to maintain a rela- tionship. I know that in my marriage I have those qualities and that makes our marriage work. 'The changes for me are learn- ing about his habits that are my pet peeves. For example, he throws his clothes on the iloor, and I'm the one who picks them up. --Pam Young 'Busily typing in her Secretarial tech- nology class, Veronica Harper will even- tually use her skills to further her stud- ies as a CPA. .'You may now kiss the bridef' Mike Warterhouse kisses Kelli Waterhouse at the end of the ceremony.
