Out on your own

I graduated early so I was 17 when I left home to continue my education.

I come from a culture where usually children go on their own only after getting married or maybe to study but that too mostly is taken care of by their parents, they aren't expected to be on their own totally. So, I got married when I was 24 and me and my husband went to a different city and started our life together, all by ourselves. He already had a job, I got one.

I moved out of my family's home when I was 20 years old, and into an apartment downtown, where I lived for five years. I still have the apartment, and I'm deciding what to do with it. I'm now engaged to be married, and we're still deciding whether we want to live in Canada, where I'm from, or down here in the USA, where he is.

i was wow, 16 when i was on my own. and 17 when i had my first child. I was 23 when i had my second child and went back to school to learn how to use computers and get office skills. I have always worked but i wanted to start making some real money. so i have been working in the corprate world now for 13 years. damn time flies
