Rachel went to a delivery room, and her daughter, Payten came into the world. Rachel hated leaving her daughter, but she didn't want to be one of those teen moms who drop out of school. Therefore, she was raising her daughter, work in part time job for daughter's stuff, and studying hard for dental assistant, even class was difficult for her.
Although things were doing well with her baby, Rachel still had a difficult obstacle to face:determing who the child's father was. She asked all people who had sex with Rachel. Finally she found the father, but he was very upset. Since then, the father has paid a small amount of monthly child support,and he visits daughter about once a week. After that, she found one apartment, and moved in that room for new life with daughter.
Now, She decided that she choose her friends for daughter, because some people don't like to play with little kid. People who want to be Rachel's friends have to understand the way her life is. And also, she decided she'll be the best mother she can possibly be to daughter. She'll have a close relationship with her daughter and talk with her about everything, so that daughter can tell and ask Rachel anything.
In this chapter, I could find some interesting vocabulary. And then, this chapter "Rachel" was impressed for me because she has a lot of strong decision and resolution, even she is young. I think it's different from another teenmoms. I think she still has some trouble for raising child because it's pretty difficult thing, but I hope she'll overcome some situation, and be a good and strong mother.
Now, I'm going into next chapter, "Joanna".

Exactly.To raise a child is not easy.I guess that this book is about young mother, right? I have some friends who are young and have a child. All of them have some trouble about raising a child.
It sounds like Rachel is making the best decisions she can, and that she is determined to do the right thing. I admire that in her. Unfortunately, I think people like her are exceptional, and that most can't handle the stress as well as she does. Anyway, I hope she can continue to work hard for herself and her child!
