Becoming an Adult

This week, an assignment has me write about what becoming an adult means for me. It means I will be old enough to support myself. I will probably move out of Mom and Dad's house and into an apartment of my own, get a job, and probably go to college. What I look forward to for being an adult is maybe more freedom. I will be able to do what I want, but I will still go to Mom and Dad for advice for years to come. What I don't want to do as soon as I am an adult is probably get a family of my own. I want to make sure I have enough money to support a family before I even think of getting married. Mom and Dad both did that, and it turned out well for them. Do I want to become an adult now, no. I want to enjoy the last few years of "child"hood while I can before I have to become 100% responsible for myself. I could see myself becoming an adult and becoming independent by the time I am eighteen or nineteen years old. Until then, being a kid is what is important, and I am going to enjoy it.
