In a way I am looking forward to moving out on m own. I know that once I am out on my own, that it will be hard, but I think it will also be fun. I think that moving out on your own is like a rite of passage because you no longer are being supervised by your parents. By the time I am ready to move out; hopefully I will be responsible enough to live by myself.
I’m not really looking forward to moving out. I want to own my own place and do whatever I want but I don’t want to leave my family. I think it will be fun to move and out and be on my own. But I’d like to visit my family every once and awhile. I might need help sometimes, and I think my parents will help me out. I think I’ll be fine living on my own.
Falling into Independence
By Mirielle Jefferson, 1st per
In middle school and high school, we all dream about living on our own and starting our own lives. For me, I’ve always dreamt about this, but I’ve also had mixed feelings about it. For one, I would be extremely excited to get away from my past and be let out of the cage of living with my parents. I would be excited to prove to myself how I can live independently in the real world with success. However, this is all contrasted by the responsibilities I would have to endure by living on my own. I would have responsibilities in behavior, managing time, and especially money. I would have to get used to used to doing daily chores that I take advantage of my parents for doing. I would have these responsibilities and many more to deal with every moment of my life. This whole idea is kind of like skydiving. You can get really excited about it and finally jump out of the airplane, but if you don’t have a parachute to bring you safely to the ground, you’re in trouble. In my case, I believe I’m ready to jump, I just don’t know if my parachute of accepting responsibility is big enough.
A New Beginning and Independence
Are you afraid of moving out on your own because I can’t wait! Can u imagine being on your own and not having any help at all? Whether its college or after college are you ready? I am, so ready to be on my own and not have any parents on your back. I think it will be awesome to be on my own! I might not get very much done but ill have fun not doing anything.
Moving out on your own is an important step in your life and it shows you are mature enough and responsible enough to live and take care of yourself. I’m looking forward to moving out because it shows I’m responsible and can provide for myself. Moving out is part of being an adult and venturing into your adult life and taking the responsibilities it has. Living on your own is the only real way to show that you’re an adult. To me I really want to move out and venture and see new places that I haven’t seen before. To every action in life there are negative and positive effects and sometimes you want to have the comfort of home.
I am not sure right now about moving out and living on my own. To me this decision is important and has its positive and negative effects. When I move out I will miss the comfort of my home and I will miss having things done and paid for, for me. I will also dislike having to start all over, and having to get a job and make money and I will miss all my free time I have now. I am looking forward to moving out so I can be by myself and make my own decisions. I will also enjoy not having my parents there to boss me around. As of right now I will not miss my parents much and look forward to getting away but I’m sure when I actually move out and don’t have them living with me anymore I will miss them and will want to come home and be with my family members as much as possible.
A New Beginning & Independence
In some ways I am looking forward to moving out and living on my own. You are older and free to do whatever you want, but that is also kind of a scary thought. With that major amount of freedom, comes even more responsibility. Your mom won’t do your laundry, and your dad won’t pay for your car. You are now responsible for paying the bills, making money, buying groceries, cleaning the house, and maintaining a job. You might have more freedom, but life becomes much tougher.
A New Beginning & Independence
In the book, “The Man Called Horse”, the main character moves away and starts his own independent life. I think about how that would be all the time. I think it would be both fun but also have some negatives. Some good things are I will be able to do whatever I want to do without asking if it is okay. I will be able to stay up as late as I want to and spend the night at friend’s house all the time. I can talk to whoever I want to and have my own privacy. There would be some downs though, one is I will have to take care of myself all the time. If I am sick I will have no one to help me and care for me. I will have to pay my own bills and if I go over on my texting I’m the one who has to pay it. I will have to cook and clean for myself but in the end I think it would be exciting to live out on my own!
In “A Man Called Horse,” the main character moves away from home to start his own life as a young man. I am excited about moving. My parents started at a young age teaching me responsibility. These responsibilities have in return taught me how to do laundry or make a well balanced meal. School has given me projects on how to budget my money. Through responsibilities and school I am prepared to g and face the real world.
If I could move out, I wouldn’t leave just yet. Although families are fun, I like not worrying about providing for one. I would enjoy not being told what to do, but I don’t want to do bills or deal with a boss.I need more time to learn about life before I take it on alone. I will be ready for this challenge if I just wait a little longer
In “A Man Called Horse” the main character moves away from home to start his life as a young man. If I was in the same situation as the main character, then I would be feeling a lot of different emotions. First I would feel excitement knowing that I will be on my own and can do whatever I want. But on the other hand I would feel scared to go out on my own. I would be very frightened of the very difficult responsibilities that I will have being on my own.
I think that when I move out of my house I will be happy but at the same time sad. When I move out then I will be on my own and experience new things, I can be by myself and go to sleep when I want to. However if I do move out then I would have to pay the bills, shop for my own food, and I would have to clean the house without any help at all and that might be hard. I would be in charge of what happens and it would be my fault if something bad happens. I would be sad to leave my house and my neighborhood. I would be sad to leave my friends and family. When I do move out then I will be happy to have a place of my own
There can be a positive side and negative side of moving out. In the short story called “A Man Called Horse” moves out to start a new life. I think the positive side to moving out is that you don’t live with your parents anymore and you have more freedom. The negative side is that you have a lot more responsibilities. For example: paying bills, cleaning, and your parents are not there to help you anymore.
The the two comments need to be flipped flopped
In “the Interlopers,” the two main characters grow to like one another after being trapped under a fallen tree. My feelings about someone changed from initial perceptions to a deeper understanding and respect after I got to know him. At first he came off as your typical football jock having all the “girls,” money, good grades and anything else you could think of. As I got to know him I found out that those things really didn’t matter to him. He still faced issues at home, at school, and within himself. It goes to show that first impressions aren’t always right.
In “A Man Called Horse,” a character moves away from home to start his own life as a young man. If i was about to move out on my own i would look forward to it because if i do i would not have to listen to listen to my parents. I will do whatever i want, whenever i want. This is why i would feel excited to moving out on my own.
My feelings toward moving out on my own are very bittersweet. I am excited to start my life and be independent and make my own decisions, but I also will miss my family and friends that I see every day. An adult life sounds fun and different, although more responsibilities will be headed my way. Being on my won, I will face new challenges and have to work hard to play hard. Being on my own is something I look forward to regardless the people I will miss and the obstacles everyone eventually faces anyway. Moving out on my own is a part of growing up and one of life’s many changes. It is something in my future I am excited to face, but I think I would like to face it a bit further down the road.
My feelings about moving out on my own are good and bad. I am ready to move out and start my life and be independent, but at the same time I want that security of parents over me and making me feel safer. I am excited to move out and get more responsibilities but it’s also kind of scary to think that I won’t have an adult to help me because I will be the adult. Sooner or later you have to move out so you can learn how to deal with certain situations and problems. Moving out seems fun too because you don’t have to worry about cleaning your room and doing chores or being home at a certain time. I think it has its advantages either way. All in all I’m ready to move out and be on my own, but also a little nervous about having no adults to help me through it.
Have you ever received a gift that was totally free but it held so many memories and feelings that it was the best gift you ever received I have. I got to spend a whole day with my favorite uncle and we didn’t really do many things that were very special but it was the time that meant a lot. I have that memory forever and it can never be taken away from me.
*A new beginning & Independence
I feel great about moving out award from home. I am ready in fact. I have everything planned, when I start working I would like to start a savings account. The savings account will be for college and a place to stay & to have a car. My plan is to go to school for OBGYN & cosmetology. I know its tough doing a double major but I think I can make it.
A New Beginning and Independence
People have to find a job somewhere in life. You have your own life to live. You have to be responsible for your own actions. There are things you can do to have something. You look at which job you want to work.
Moving out with no help and having to support myself would definitely be a new experience. At times I really would like to pack up my things and move out. If I honestly think about it, though, I may not get too far. I would have to work just to keep food on the table and to pay the rent (assuming that I wouldn’t have the money for a house yet). I think that I’ll stay in my parents’ house for a little while longer.
When I decided to be a doctor when I grew up I wanted to finish school and move out. I wanted to have an adult life with responsibilities, but when I get one I don’t think I would want one. School for a doctor is going to be hard. I also want to move out of my house and see what it is like. If I had to, I would move out and deal with it. I wouldn’t skip not having responsibilities.
I would feel pretty scared from moving out on my own because I think that I would miss my mom way too much and my old house. I would be looking forward to it because I think that I can actually learn how to do stuff for myself by going to work and going to the store and picking about household supplies. I would like independence so I wont have to stay with my mom for the rest of my life.
Moving out on our own is something almost everyone has thought of at least once, I know I have. I think it will be fun to move my own because I will be able to do what I want, when I want. It will be a little scary because I won’t be living with the same people I’ve lived with my whole life. I also will have to pay for myself. It will be something I will live and learn from.
I always think about what will happen when I move out of my house for college. I’m kind of scared of not having my parents with me and having to everything on my own, it sounds so freaky. But also when I think of it sounds kind of cool because no one will tell me what to do. Some things that I will need before I move out will be a job for money, and life style supplies like clothes, bed sheets, ECT… It will be hard to adjust without my brother and sister around to bug me but I think I’ll live.
I am not that excited about moving out on my own one day. I am scared about having to handle my money, bills, and taxes. It seems hard and confusing. An adult has to do and keep up with so much and, right now, I don’t even want to think about it. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be good and ready to leave home, but I won’t be so ready for all of the responsibilities.
This question asked me how I feel about moving out of my parent’s home. Oh I am very ready for it. Well I actually just want to get out of the house and out of from under my parents noses. I am ready for the independence. I am not ready to have all the responsibilities that my parents have, I do not want to want to have to start paying for everything that I need. So I am really just ready for the freedom and not what comes with it.
I am somewhat looking forward and somewhat nervous about being an adult. The reasons I am looking forward of being an adult are I am going to be more independent and be able to make my own decisions. Another reason I am looking forward of becoming an adult is I’ll be living on my own. Some reasons have responsibilities. These are reasons why I am looking forward and why I am nervous about becoming an adult.

No one wants to move away from their parents without knowing what they’ll do for the rest of their life. I wouldn’t want to move out on my own. I think it would be hard and scary. I would much rather stay here and let my parents pay for everything, and let me have a warm bed and a strong roof over my head. I probably wouldn’t like it because I would have more responsibility and less family time.
How do I feel about moving out on my own, is that I am very nervous but excited at the same time. It makes me feel nervous because I don’t know how I can live on my own. At the same time I don’t want to leave my mom and sister. It’s also exciting because it means that I am growing up. I also am not looking forward to all the bills and responsibilities that are ahead.
I am a little nervous about moving out on my own. I also think it will be fun, though. I think it will be hard to adjust to college and adult life at first, but it will get easier and better. I am looking forward to college because I will have more freedom.
In all my life I have moved even when I lived in my country. Since I was born to when I was 15 years old, I moved around six times. Then I came here, and since I came here “the united state” I have moved three times. Those changes in my life have given me a lot of friend in everywhere, although a lot of sadness because I lost them, not as friends, but is difficult to talk to them again. However it’s not that bad, when you moved a lot you meet a lot of people, and that’s good, I really like, you learn a lot. All those changes have given me a lot of responsibilities because; first I have to learn a new address, I have to make new friends, to take care of myself because it is difficult to find baby sitting in a short time. But I like it because now that I am 17 years old, I think I am ready to make the next step, and I will.
I am looking forward to moving out on my own after I graduate. I think it will be fun to live without my parents and my little brother and sister. There are many responsibilities that will come along with living on my own, but it will be worth it.
Independence, it’s a big word with a lot of meanings. In the story the main character moves away from home to be independent. Independence to me means being a responsible person on your own. When I grow up I want to be independent and I’m looking forward to it. I would like to show my parents I can be young and responsible person, I think being independent will show them that.
Moving out own your own is scary, but a big and necessary step in your life. I am kind of frightened yet excited to move out. The responsibilities will be a major addition to my life but I believe I am prepared to grow up and progress in life. I will face on the responsibilities and accomplish them to the best of my ability. Getting my own place should be fun.
I would love to get out on my own. Beside the responsibility, I would do anything I wanted to do. I could by things I could never buy. If I wanted to go to the club, I could go and not have to ask anyone because I am grown and out on my own. I could drive my own car and have my own house. In other words, I would love to be grown and out on my own.
When we were younger we have all wanted to move out and live by ourselves. Well, the day I move out it will be one of the best experiences of my life. It will be a new part of my life and it will change me and the way I live and act completely.I’m looking forward to it because it is a way for me to show all the people that ever thought that I would never make it past the stage of my life where I have to live by myself and take responsibilities for all the wrong actions I take a part of, but somewhat I have a little fear of living by myself. It means I have to do all the daily chores by myself and do things I have never done before. What if my sink breaks and I don’t have enough money to fix it ? Then again those are some things teenagers like us shouldn’t think about before it happens.
People start a new life when they move out. I’m looking a little forward to moving out someday. I liked to start my own life and live a normal life with a family. I’ll be able to do some things faster without any interruptions. Moving out sounds fine to me. But for now, I’m fine at home
