Me and my wife had our first child at 17 (girl, condom broke). Initially I thought it would wreck my future, but I didn't. We had our next at 20 (boy, pill baby), and our 3rd at 22 (boy,IUD baby). My wife and I both finished both high school and college, I played professional football, etc. Now I'm 36, my daughter is a junior at Stanford, my oldest boy is a top national high school football recruit, and my youngest boy is a top AAU basketball player (not to mention not a bad football player either). The best part of all this is by the time all my kids are out the house, I'll be 41, still young enough to continue to enjoy life and since they will be gone earlier, that means retirement earlier for me and the Mrs.

Besides any accomplishments I've had, being a father is by far my greatest accomplishment. I wouldn't change it for the world!!
