as a nonchalant person, words such as "grow up" and "facing reality" can be daunting to bite the bullet..but i guess now that im already 21, i presume that it's time for me to include those in my life..it's a drastic change since HS because i have to face responsiblities for my future, scrutiny from other individual, and usually misjugde because others think i lack skills.. i might be legal enough but who says i can't be a kid at heart?

I was 18. I graduated H.S. and realized that when I chose to run to a college far away from everyone I knew and then I realized I had no one to depend on but myself. It made me become an adult immediately and take on responsibilty I took for granted. Especially when I didn't know when my next meal was coming or if I would have roof over my head if I screwed up.

9yrs old
I was traveling on the Carnival with my mother and 6yr old sister when my mother became very sick. So sick, that I thought that she would die.
But I didn't know how to call across country to my father for help and I was afraid that if I told an authority figure that they would simply take my little sister and I away. That far from home, I thought that if we were taken away, we would never make it home again.
So, I decided that it was time for me to grow up.
I took over my mother's shifts in her carnival booth. Leaving my little sister beside our van on a blanket with her dolls with instructions to run to me if anything happened, I left to go to work. I worked from 10am until 10pm, taking every few minute brake to check up on my little sister and mother.
I knew sick people needed soup and medicine and that my sister deserved treats for being so good for me. So, I dared a 8 lane freeway, to reach a little cafe/store where they sold soups and flavored candy canes. I couldn't ask the boss for a big draw on my mother's pay for fear he would think something was wrong. Mom had made arrangements that we could make draws on her pay only 2$ a day as a sort of allowance. I couldn't ask for more or the bosses would figure out she was worse than I told them and they would call the authorities. so I took mine and my sister's $2 each. It was just enough for soup for mom, a sandwich for sis, and a candy cane for her.
For three days I didn't eat.
By the fourth day, my mother had regained enough senses that she made the call to my father herself and he flew out at once and rescued us.
I never traveled on the carnival again, though my mother and little sister, now 26, are still a carnies.
My father said I was never a kid after that. I took up running the house while my mother spent up to 3yrs at a time on the road. And, when she did come home for just a few months, sometimes only a few days, we would butt heads over who's rules ruled.
In some ways it was a good change. While my father worked all day trying to support us, us kids were left on our own. One of us needed to grow up fast so the others would have the opportunity to be kids.
On the other hand, I wouldn't have mind being a kid a little longer: going to the park instead of grocery shopping; reading comics instead of trying to figure out the bills; making doll clothes instead of washing school clothes; going to dances instead of watching the little ones so the older ones could go....
Anyway, we turned out okay.

When I was 16 and my dad kicked me out of the house. I thought I could do it, I probably could if I had been ready. I rented a home for two days, The shortest in history I'm sure, and then my dad came for me on the 3rd day asking if i've learnt my lesson.
Maturity hit me then.

to face reallity you must understand how your reallity is formed before you can face it every choice we make not only dictates our reallity it changes it as well
basically reality is what you make of it
