Day by day I see how I progress in maturity and realize how important it is to take care of business and have everything I need in the future. I am seeing what it means and knowing how it feels to make my own decisions without my parents. I am more dependent on myself in terms paying my own way outside of tuition cause that is what parents are supposed to do (pun intended). My goal is to depend on them less and less as time moves along considering they have three of my siblings and themselves  to still provide for. Boy the end of my sophomore year I plan to have little to no fall backs on them providing me with extra money I can provide for myself. This will help me get used to things early on and manage my money better and later being completley used to this by time I am 20( I will be turning 19 on December 3rd). It's definetly  a  good idea to have a financial foundation and plan to know what you want to do for the fututre in terms of individuality!
