I guess what changed my way, was when I moved out of my parents house. It completely changed me, and was a huge step towards my education and work ethic. Once you go out on your own, you have so many more things you have to keep track of, especially for me because I have never really done much work. There are so many things you need to do to maintain a house. It was hard at first but with time it became easier, and easier. It made me want to accomplish better things in life.…
One significant experiance in my life has been my dad being in the Millitary. My dad was in the Millitary for a short time of one year before he decided it wasnt for him. But in that one year we moved two times. We moved from my hometown of Anacortes Washington to California. I started school and things werent that bad, I made friends and had a park right across the street from my house! life was good. But then we had to move again, to Arizona. We moved from sea side California to the Arizona Dessart. This is where I was really challanged, I didnt make friends as easy as the first move.

Moving away from home and being in college, I look back on my years at home with a little bit of sadness and tad bit of regret. I realize that I took my father for granted. When I would complain about how much homework a teacher had given me, I never once heard him complain about staying late after work. When I would complain about not having the latest outfit, I never once heard him complain about…
The first change was independence. I lived in a church dormitory which was near the campus; my parents could not cook and do laundry for me anymore. I had to deal with everything by myself even handle accidents. Once, I fell down from a scooter and hurt my neck and head. I knew I had to save myself at that moment. My parents knew that their little girl had grown up after that. Now, I study alone in a country far from my hometown I can live here as well as I do in my own place.…
“Moving out for the first time is one of the biggest steps you’ll take in life. It not only represents your freedom, independence and a sense of growing up, it also tests your ability to make it on your own.” (Kahler, 2007) Whether to live with your parents, or move out on your own is one of today’s biggest decisions. There are many advantages and disadvantages with either situation, but most young people may not realize that when time comes to make a decision. There are many responsibilities and roles for these individuals in either situation. Teenagers should think about everything before he or she moves out on his or her own. There are many reasons for living with a parent or living alone.…
Three life changing events for me are the death of my mother, birth of my children, and going to school. The death of my mother changed my life tremendously. It made me realize that everyone will die. It also taught me independence. The births of my children were a beautiful moment. I knew from the very first time I laid eyes on them that I had been changed. I knew that it was time for me to step up and do things for their satisfaction, not mine. I had to make a live for them and myself. This also made me very independent.…
The cost and size of housing differ greatly from the inner city's high-rise apartments or houses, to those of a spacious urban setting. On average, the cost of the dwelling of comparable size will cost more in the city than that of the suburbs. For example, to buy a 3-bedroom home that is around 1300sf in the city may cost about $148,000, while renting would be around $1,600 a month. To buy or rent a house of similar size in the suburbs will be around $100,000 to buy, and $1,000 to rent per month. 'Estimates were biased on one city and its suburbs, in one state, and will vary from state to state, and city to city. One should be aware of any additional cost that may be needed when making their decision, such as, property taxes, gas or transportation expenses, and any other bills. Size is another factor one should think about; seldom would you find a place in the city that can handle a family with four or more kids. Space is limited, and lots are considerably smaller than those found in the suburbs, and those that are will more than likely have older homes on them. Suburbs offer greater space in which to build, and bigger houses in which to raise a family. Houses in the suburbs also usually have yards that families can play in or one could plant a garden or even have a pool.…

While some of them are small, some experiences are so great that you will never forget the exact date and time they occurred. The most life-shaping experience I have ever had was the birth of my son. This event changed my life. I love my son dearly and his birth will always be the best thing that has ever taken place in my life. After my son was born, a lot of things changed for me.
