Living On My Own

By Valeria Perez

Living on my own is not as easy as I thought. My last year in the school, I had so many fights with my parents just for silly little things and all that I wanted was to go to the university and live on my own. However, now I know how difficult it is living without my parents and all the things that I had in my home and I didn’t appreciate. For example, now I have to cook everyday and sometimes I don’t have time and I just eat an apple, whereas that never happened in my house because my mother had a delicious lunch every day. Now, I have so much responsibility and obviously I have to be very organized with my money. Besides, I miss my parents very much and all the dedication that they gave me when I lived with them. On the other hand, I have more freedom now. I have to take my own decisions and that’s very cool because I can go to clubs whenever I want; however, I’m very responsible and I never go clubbing if I have class next day. I live with my eldest sister and we have a really good relationship. Even though this new stage is not easy I’ve learned so many things about life and I realized all that my parents gave to me. So, if you still live with your parents, appreciate them now, because it may be too late to do it when you don’t live with them anymore. 
