The Road To Independence

5/17/2017

0 Comments

 
I have been living with someone else since the day I came into this world and now at twenty two years old I'm still having to live with someone. Most teens get to move out of their parents house when they turn eighteen, some go to college and some go straight to work. I unfortunately was never granted that independence because of my spinal cord injury. I felt like I was just standing still while all of my friends were moving forward with their lives; kind of the way I did when everyone turned sixteen and was able to drive only worse.
I am finally getting that independence after all these years in about six months to a year. My father is almost done building his house on Little River so I will be able to move in once renovations are completed in my house. Here's the things that will have to be done before I can move in:
  1. ​Finish Dad's house
  2. Do renovations on mine
  3. Learn to drive
  4. Set up home health
