Being Treated As An Adult

Freedom
Since I was little I have always wanted to be treated like an actually adult because I always felt like I was mature for my age than most kids were. Although I felt that way that did not mean I was going to be treated like an adult.

Now that I am 18 the legal age to be considered an adult. I can honestly say that a lot changed but at the same time nothing has really changed because my parents and grandparents still treat me like I am 8 years old in some ways. For example when I get ready for school in the morning my grandma thinks she has to constantly check on me while I am getting ready.

Every since I could remember every teacher I had would talk about how important it is to go and get a degree and also talk about how much work I would have to do to get there and do even more work once I finally do get there. Even though I want to go to college and do good while I go there. I still have no ideal what I want to do once I do got there. Although throughout my childhood I changed my career at least 10 times and still counting but at first I wanted to be a lawyer and then at one point in time I wanted to be judge but as I got older I realized that 's not really the type of I Job I wanted. Then I thought I wanted to be some kind of therapist that went to other people 's jobs and help them improve healthy work conditions and work relationships . Now that I think about I do not know why I wanted to be a therapist, because I have problems of my own and I can not afford to worry about anyone else’s problems. Although one of the reasons I wanted to be a therapist in the first place was because they made really good money. But money 's not everything because at the end of the day I want to enjoy my career and not be miserable while making good money. As of now I know I have somewhat of a good plan, I plan to go to Swic for two years then I will transfer to SIUC and SIUE for another two years. Although I still do not have a practical career
