To be honest I was not taught the essential things to becoming an adult and surviving on my own. It all started with my parents and the way I was raised. I am the baby of five kids and my mom was 39 when she became pregnant with me, so you could say I was the uh-oh baby. With me being such a late comer and all my older siblings in high school when I was born they took on a lot of the responsibility of raising me.…

    In his essay “Us and them,” David Sedaris describes his life as a child and how he ended up changing himself after realizing how disrespectful his behaviors were. While the boy is eating all of his candy so the neighbors do not get any, his mother barges in and screams “You should just look at yourself. I mean really look at yourself,” (Sedaris, ###) which prompted David to see how wrong he truly was.
