Write about being self sufficient.

Self Sufficiency means that you can take care of yourself. You are able to provide for yourself without any dependence on another person of object. Most teenagers are the complete opposite of self suffieient. They depend on their parents for money for foos, shopping, and gas. They depend on their friends or teachers for answers in school. I feel like I am fairly self sufficient. Especially now that I have to pay for all parts of my car with my sister. The insurance, registration, and gas.If we do not pay, we do not get to drive. I have to do my own laundry, and clean my room. I have to time manage my own homework, my own time. So many kids just depend on other people or their parents to get through life. I find this super annoying. They are not going to to have their parents to organize their lives through college. They will not always sit by a smart kid in their classes to get help and cheat off of. People need to be able to depend on themselves for everything. They need to be able to find their own jobs, and be able to provide for themselves. People need to be able to feed themselves, whether that cooking their own meals, or having enough money to go out and eat. Self Sufficiency is important because you feel good about yourself. When ever I accomplish something really hard or something really important, I feel super happy. Like when I figure out a really heard math problem, or If I had a really good day at work. People strive to do their best, and for that you have to be self sufficient.Hopefully by the time everyone graduated high school they have a really good idea about what actually being self sufficient means to themselves. To me it means to be able to do things  by myself, for myself, and I feel very accomplished when I do that.
