Gaining Independence

I struggled so much when learning to drive, I didn’t think I would ever be able to get my license. Everytime I go out and drive something different would always go wrong. I would get too caught up in the freedom of driving and listening to the blaring music that I would forget something. When I first started I wouldn’t think it would ever be this hard because my parents make it look so easy. When I was fifteen I was learning how to drive, but I kept struggling with a couple different aspects of driving. Eventually after I kept practicing I was able to perfect the art of driving, and come closer to becoming an adult.

I was 10 years old when I began to drive on my own and was 16 years old when I first drove by myself. It was great and one of the best things to ever happen in my life. When I was a little child I would be sitting in my mom or dads lap holding on to the steering wheel because I couldn’t reach the gas petal. As I was getting older my dad started teaching me how to drive by myself. The first time I did it by myself I didn’t know how to make the car go forward or backwards.

For a while I always had my parents or friends give me rides to places. But after I turned 15 I started to think and I decided that I wanted to get my permit. The first try I didn’t get it. At that time it made me not want to get my permit because I didn’t want to fail over and over again and again.

One of the biggest things a teenager can accomplish in life is passing the driving license test and receiving their license. When teenagers meet the requirements to get their license it is a very exciting moment for them. Teens get that feeling that they are young adults once they received their license. Young teenagers feel very independent after get there license and start driving. A lot of young teens are ready to start driving so they can hang out with their friends, drive to work, and drive to school so they won’t have to ride the bus. Teens are so over whelmed but that don’t realize how important driving is. Driving takes skills and learning things to master it.

Thankfully Mr. John butler brought extra axes and rope sadly he didn't have any buckets so I went to go ask Tony Wilson if he had any bucket that we could use luckily he did we got really lucky.

Independence to me is the freedom to make my choices and take full accountability of the choices I make. I first realized my true independence in the summer of 2014 when I had the opportunity to spend two full months in Stockholm, Sweden visiting family. I had never before traveled by myself outside the tristate area, and let alone to Sweden. The reasons I wanted to travel to Sweden were mainly to see family, embrace new cultures, getting out of my comfort zone, and gain a new perspective in life.

Young drivers argue that driving gives them a sense of responsibility and independence. Also, some parents disagree

5 Big Steps Parents Can Take To Help Their Kids Gain More Independence For Preschool

I slowly get off the plane, wishing I could go back to Bangladesh. I am going to miss the fourteen years I have spent there. Surprisingly, I’ll even miss the unclear foggy sky and the dreadfully slow traffic. My family wanted to get out of this corruption and move to a better place. They decided to go to a large country in North America called Canada.

Independence. This word represents something that Christopher doesn’t get much of. Christopher goes to a school for special students and he is limited on his freedom. All his life he is getting put into a different category just because he is different. I believe that he can be the amazing student he is inside. I think that Christopher should have be given the chance to go to regular school because he has potential to be a focused and brilliant student.

Along with many other Zers, independence is my “thing”. Since I was a little kid, I’ve had to pave my own way through life. My older brother and sister were always competitive with each other, but I couldn’t do everything they were doing because I was younger; I stuck to playing dolls by myself instead of playing sports with my siblings. I don’t really play with dolls anymore; however, I do not want to go to Marquette University and major in business like my older siblings. To my parents dismay, I also dread having to do things other people want me to do. I am always being told to clean my room or to do the dishes, and the very fact that I’m being told what to do makes me not want to do it. This is also seen when I’m told I can’t do something,

As I have grown up, many situations caused me to assert my independence away from someone. Whether it had been riding a bike by myself, jumping into the pool without floaties on, or going to the mall with friends, rather than my parents, each situation required an assertion of independence. Though some instances are bigger than others, they are all equally important in shaping me into the person I am today. The most prominent assertion of independence in my mind happens to have taken place this year. The concept of true friendship is hard to find, and it is difficult to have true friends in the society we live in. Many people turn on each other, and go behind their friends back. This year, a close friend of mine, for about a year, turned

     Graduating and getting out on your own is a difficult step to make. There are a lot of things that you have to take into perspective. The choices that you make when you get out of highschool believe it or not are crucial and life altering. Decisions that you have to make are ones like what you want your career to be, where you want to live, and a big decision is buying a house. In making these decisions you have to do a lot of research and things to be prepared. I did a lot of research in hopes of finding a career that I would like and three things that I could see myself doing was owning my own spa ($100,000 yearly salary), managing a spa($60,000 yearly salary), or being an

My first experience of freedom was the first time I drive my car by myself for the first time. Ever since I was little, I had wanted to drive. My grandma would take me out into the country and let me steer on her lap when I was little. It didn’t feel like I thought it was supposed to. I had attempted to take my moms car out for a drive when I was ten, but I got caught. When I turned twelve, my grandma let me drive her car without her help but she was in the car with me. She let me drive because she knew how bad I wanted to. It was on the same country road as when I was little, steering on her lap. The country road would lead to my cousins house. I was able to drive her car on the country road multiple times because we would go to my cousins house frequently. I have lived in Newton, Kansas my whole life. I have moved over a dozen times, luckily my mom kept us in the same town throughout. I have attended Newton Public Schools my entire childhood. My mom would always give me rides to school in the mornings before she went to work. I would always ask if I could drive and she would reply with “No, you are not old enough and you don’t even have a driver's license”. I have always felt trapped. I could leave the house and ride my bike whenever I felt like it, but I still felt trapped. I couldn’t drive. I wanted to drive so bad I thought I would kill for it. I didn’t know how to cope knowing I wasn’t allowed to drive. So every time I had feelings about this issue, I would go into my
