Let Me Do It!

Since I was really little, I have been very independent.

As a 3-year old, I wanted to pick all my own outfits and change my clothes.

I remember wanting to learn how to tie my shoes "BY MYSELF!"

As a teenager, I felt guilty ever asking for things to be given to me. If I was ever given money to go anywhere or do something fun, I was sure I had as much change as possible to bring home.

I woke myself up with an alarm from when I was around 8 years old.

I imposed my own bedtime in junior high. 

I kept track of all my own homework all throughout school.

I never went to tutoring or asked for help: "I can figure it out on my own!"

I got a job at age 17, before senior year.

I decided to do an internship alone instead of student teaching because, "I want to run things MY way."

Now in a somewhat pressured financial situation, when my mom is ready and willing to help me out, what do I say?

"No, I don't want you to help me. I want to face my own financial difficulties alone like an adult, thank you."

One of these days my pride might get me in trouble.

Yes, you have always been the most responsible people I know. And sometimes it is okay to ask for help, but I am proud of you. xo
