Being Independent

They say everyone in your life that you depend on will one day no longer be around. Some will move away, some will stop talking to you and all of them will vanish-but I don’t want it to happen. I am seventeen years old. Through out those years, I depend on my mother. I am doubtful on my decisions unless corrected or perfected by mama. I am controlled by the thoughts that things might go wrong without her. However, I don’t think she is treating me like a baby but whenever I’m not with her, I turned out to be a careless person.

I consulted mama about my plans of studying in IIT and she said it’s all up to me. I went here, not knowing that it will be hard for me to adjust and carry responsibilities. It came out to my mind that I made a dull decision that I’ll greatly regret. I work alone, prepare my breakfast, lunch and dinner, I wash my clothes, dishes and tried to carry and solve problems .I almost give up. But it made me realize that I must learn to do things on my own or else, I will not survive.
