Who I was BEFORE I always relied on adults. I would wait for somebody else to take action, and I would just follow along with that decision. Whenever there was an emergency, I was not in charge.

Rewording of Thesis After leaving the hospital, I
realized that I was at the point in life where I had to work toward my independence.
Remember my thesis: I learned I need to be more independent.*These are NOT the same sentence. I reworded it but kept the main idea.

When at the mall, I had to be the one to call 911. By taking this initiative, I established the first step of my independence because I did not wait for an adult to take action. Now, I see the value in being independent, and I do not rely others. I applied for jobs by myself, I babysat to earn money, and I researched colleges without assistance.
