They worked with me because I was definitely trying. I was showing up and I was giving it my best, but I did not use it as an excuse. You know, I still did what I was supposed to do when I showed up to school. But of course, you know, I would fall asleep in some classes and

People would wake me up and tell me, oh, they were talking about, they were pointing, you know, I would go through that, of course, you know, but hey, it comes with the territory, you know, of being a teen mom.

So May 20th, 1996, I had a doctor's appointment and my doctor's name was Dr. Ikuno. He was so nice to me. And I would go in. My mom always went to the doctor with me. And he said, come here, come here. Look, look. I was so embarrassed. He telling her to look down there. And he said, she's going to have this baby tonight. You see this? She has lost her plug. I was like, what the hell is a plug?

What's a plug? So I go home. And my mom said, come on, we're going to Granny's house. I went to my grandma's house. She had made a large pot of spaghetti. And I remember her saying to me, eat this now because when you go to the hospital, they're not going to let you eat. My first baby. So I was like, really? So I ate the spaghetti. And about 10 o'clock, I went to the hospital.

I remember going in and being put all up, you know, plugged up and everything. And then I started feeling nauseated. And so they brought me a cup, and there comes all the spaghetti up.

I got there at 10.

I chose his middle name, which was Orlando's. And then I wanted to give Mike a name of my own that I wanted to name him, you know, and that was Darion. And I wanted Mike to have his own identity. I wanted him to be his own person, an individual. And his dad didn't want a junior. He didn't want that on there. So that's how we came up with Michael Orlando's Darion Brown.
