This was a really interesting story; I think it’s incredible that you learned about privilege and independence from a young age. I think that this can really shape a person, and I definitely agree with your overall message. I think the stories you used as examples to describe your message were really well thought out.

I thought it was interesting how you were used to not doing work and just letting your dad do work and then understanding how it’s hard to be independent.

Ryan’s story exemplifies the significance of maturing and gaining a sense of independence before young adults advance into their own careers, lifestyles, and worlds apart from their innocent, privileged childhoods; as any person transitions through his or her life, he or she should take responsibility and not depend solely on the people around them.
