Self Image in a Business Realm
Significance is something of importance to a person. The most significant event of my life was moving out of my parents’ house into my own apartment, because the move has taught me responsibility, how to deal with uncertainty, and how to find work in a new place. These are all very important things in life that a person should learn. I am glad that I got to learn them early so that I would not be so dependent on my parents.
Responsibility is one of the most important lessons to learn in life. Since July, when I moved out of my parents’ home, I have learned a little about responsibility. One responsibility I have learned is how to manage my own money. When I lived at home, I went shopping every weekend. I had a job, but I didn’t have anything to pay for. Once I moved into my apartment, I had to stop shopping every weekend, and learn how to save my money for the bills that I had to pay. I had rent, phone bills, utility bills, cable bills, and washer and dryer rental, not to mention all of the deposits and new things I had to buy for my new home. I also had to learn how to take care of a pet. My roommate and I have a Rottwieller named Kita. She weighs 110 pounds. So her food is very expensive. We also have to take her walking, and outside to use the bathroom, so we’ve really learned that taking care of a pet is like having a child. We have to take her t0p the vet when she gets sick; we have to bathe her when she gets dirt, and we have to clean up after her. It’s a job all by itself, but these responsibilities aren’t as hard as taking care of myself. This is difficult also. By now I have learned not to wash colors with whites! It’s also a job to get myself up in the morning to go to school, or to work. I guess I have learned a little about how the real world works.
There were also uncertainties to moving out. For the first week I was somewhat homesick....
