I was born with what people would call "a silver spoon",(although it didn't last long). My parents did almost everything for me, plus I am the last born of the house. I attended private schools from preschool to highschool. I was always waiting for my parents to do stuff for me, and also other adults I knew.
In grade 6, I used to come to school and go home with the school bus everyday, but I didn't like it because I'll always be late to school and late to get home. I remember one time I got home by 7pm in grade 6 because we were stuck in traffic. We were always stuck in traffic. So I made up my mind not to take the school bus again. I told my parents about it, but they said I should wait till the session was over but that wasn't on my agenda.
One fateful day, the school bus horn was blaring outside, mum was calling me to go and hop in, but I refused. She yelled and yelled, but I Also cried and cried. After about 5 minutes, she Told the driver to go that I wasn't ready yet. From that day onwards, I started going to school and back all by myself, even as a boy of 10. I would always Cross the road with the help of the police or traffic warden, until I got the hang of it. From that day onwards, I always insisted on doing things on my own.
What about you? What sparked the attitude of doing things on your own?
Yeah... will do
