Having a lot of good and bad experiences helps us improve our way of thinking; it opens our minds and teaches us unforgettable lessons about life‚ lessons that we have to apply in the future. I have lived such a life experience in my last high school year. Along with 12th grade and turning up eighteen years old‚ I was going to become independent‚ ‘on my own feet’ as some would say.
