Some young adults want independence from their parents as soon as possible. Other young adults prefer to live with their families for a longer time. Which of these situation do you think is better? use specific reasons and examples to support you opinion.
Essay:
From my perspective, after you become an adult it is better to be independent as soon as possible, but it changes from person to person, some might argue that we should live with our parents as long as we can because we may regret leaving them too soon, and that would probably affect our future life, but even thought, I still believe that the sooner you become independent, the better.
When you start living alone, doing your market, and calculating how much you can spend in a month with trivial things, you mature yourself, you start to see the world in a different way, for example, when I did an exchange progam, in the end of the month I was low on money, and started to treat it with more value than before, and thinking if it was worth to spend it in a certain object.
Being independent also means work, you need to start working and earn money with your own hands, that gives you experience and it can give you a huge advantage in the future when you are looking for a job. When you work you also understands how hard is to earn money, and this gives you urge to look for more possibilities to profit, you start searching what are the best companies to you, if you could open your own business, and this will eventually will lead you to a future with success.
When you become independent you start looking at the world around you in different way, the economic of your country is now important, reading the newspaper became something natural, and the problems that you have need to be solved by yourself. For example, if your car starts falling, you need to get the contact of a realiable mechanic, then you are going to ask friends, family or even look around the town for yourself.
In my perspective, becoming independent is one of the best things we can do, I'm not implying that everyone should do that, it might not be the same to someone, however when you start living alone, the live you have lived changes, the comfort zone no more exists, and this may result in a big life chaging event to everyone.
I would love if someone could rate my essay, thanks!
