gURL: How did you cope with high school when you were pregnant?

Maci: After I found out that I was pregnant I decided to just do whatever I could to graduate and if possible to graduate early, which I did. I graduated a semester early. And I just did what I needed to do to get out as soon as possible so that I could move on. It was hard, but I just did what I needed to do.

gURL: How did the other students react?

Maci: I didn't tell anyone until I finished my junior year. So I wasn't really in school, it was during the summer when everybody realized that I was pregnant. But people were really supportive, actually. Everyone's always asking me how I was doing and when I was due and ever since Bentley's been born all my friends from high school (I'm still in touch with them) all love Bentley.
